JSFL: How to keep the first keyframe and clear the rest of the keyframes, in selected layer?

Currently making my first script to automate some tasks in Adobe Animate. One of the steps is keeping my selected layers' first keyframe, while clearing out the rest that follow after. How would I go about asking the computer to do this?

Picture "A" is what I'd like to achieve, picture "B" is what I get when I run:

an.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().clearKeyframes();

How would I break this down further? (super beginner, haha!)

try

fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().clearFrames(1,fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().getSelectedLayers()[0].frames.length);

Thank you, this works! I've toggled the "1" to "2" and it fits my purposes nicely.

I've tried doing something similar, like:

fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().clearKeyFrame(2, an.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline.frameCount);

However that fell flat (the error I then got was 2 wasn't valid, which was confusing). May I ask what's the distinction between using a frameCount and frameLength integers? Genuinely curious!

you're welcome.

i don't know what you mean by frameLength. is that a property of some jsfl class?

if you're looking at frames.length, there's a big difference. all arrays (including ,fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().getSelectedLayers()[0].frames) have a length property yielding the number of items in the array).
