Scripting (not expressions): Setting the layer's "active" property?

I am trying to figure out how can I set the layer's active property to false (turn off the little eye icon via script). using setValue() and simple =false commands results in either an error or a read-only value prompt.

Is it possible to do so (and no, if possible I'd like to avoid resorting to just setting opacity to 0).

mypLayer.active.setValue(false);

...it does not seem to work :(

So I have a composition in my project already assigned to the name of "depthMapComp"

I successfully add it to my current composition (theComp), but get that "read only attribute" error when I try to change its active state

var depthMapLayer = theComp.layers.add(depthMapComp);
depthMapLayer.active = false;

You can't control the enabled state with expressions. I think the best you could do would be to control the opacity.
