Things to do.....a lot of work is being put into updating this script with a handful of new functions and controls. Be sure to check back often for updates!
I hope you find this as useful as I do. This is open source and free for anyone to add to.
Please post a link to anything you to with the script. I'd like to see what you come up with. I think this script could grow into something pretty interesting.
ENJOY!

With John's approval I simplified the interface a little, fixed a few bugs and made it unbreakable(i think ;) ) Let me know if anyone finds any bugs.
Thanks,

fantastic! i'll keep my fingers off until you update. Have you looked into supporting modifiers? I've been able to list of every modifier and it's keys but haven't gone any deeper..
userAnimatedObj = $Plane01
userSel = getCurrentSelection ()
for s in userSel do
(
for k in userAnimatedObj.modifiers do
(
for i in 1 to k.numSubs do
(
print k[i].keys
)
)

Hey Andru could you post a video showing how the additional features of the script work and/or what they do. Just go ahead and use the object in the imaged you posted. That would be great.
Thanks

Major Updates
Major Updates ============
Had to sign up for a new account, the spam filter wouldn't let me post anywhere :(
Major updates to the stagger engine
+ Added staggering by proximity. Very exciting concept. Your objects stagger themselves in the order of how close they are to an object you specify.
Additional functionality of this feature includes being able to stagger by groups that are clumped together based on distance ticks :)
Also added staggering based on total duration which you can affect by several different easing equations : Linear, CubicIn, CubicOut, CubicOut, CircIn, CircOut, CircInOut (More to come)
+ Added relative / absolute options
+ Added visibility support
Enjoy!!

Nice script! Very much needed
Nice script! Very much needed this for awhile.
I modified it a little bit by adding another parameter "Keyframe Stagger". You can now enter a value by which the keys offset in time. This allows you to get a clean cascading effect.
At the moment it staggers the object's keys based on the order of which the objects were selected :\ perhaps a function that sorts them by name/index before the staggering operation would solve that :) Anyways, thanks again & cheers!
