Camera Point of Interest?

How do you access the camera point of interest? I can't find anything about it in the Scripting Guide at all. I need to add an expression to the interest with a script. Ideas, workarounds?

As far as I know, you can't!

I wrote a 3dsMax scene importer, I had to make text layer tell the user to turn off the Auto-Orient for free cams.

Maybe being up in the Layer>Transforms menu has something to do with it.

That's ridiculous that you can't get to it in scripting. I will have to find a way around it somehow.

It's not listed in the PropertyGroup property() method section of the doc, but both of the following seem to work for me:
var poi = camLayer.property("Point of Interest");
or:
var poi = camLayer.pointOfInterest;

Oops, ur right. But I still wish I knew how to disable Auto-Orient.
