Is there a way to createPath() from script

Yes, I'm pretty well traveled on using createPath() in expressions since it came out in October, but createPath() doesn't exist in scripting (extendScript).  The original question was to utilize the same behavior in a script, which I've figured out since, using the shape object.  For example, here's one I use to flip a path horizontally (while keeping the vertices in the same relative position so the shape doesn't flip when animated but instead morphs into the reversed shape, if that makes sense). There may be more direct ways to code it but it works.

function flipPath() {

    if (activeItem != null && activeItem instanceof CompItem) {

        var selectedProps = activeItem.selectedProperties;

        for (i = 0; i < selectedProps.length; i++) {

            if (selectedProps.name == "Path") {

                var prop = selectedProps;

                var p = prop.value;

                var myShape = new Shape();

                sVerts = p.vertices;

                sIns = p.inTangents;

                sOuts = p.outTangents;

                numVerts = myVerts.length;

                lastVert = numVerts - 1;

                for (i = 0; i <= lastVert; i++) {

                    r = lastVert + 1 - i;

                    if (i == 0) r = 0;

                    myVerts = [-sVerts[0], sVerts[1]];

                    myIns = [-sOuts[0], sOuts[1]];

                    myOuts = [-sIns[0], sIns[1]];

                }

                myShape.vertices = myVerts;

                myShape.inTangents = myIns;

                myShape.outTangents = myOuts;

                myShape.closed = true;

                prop.setValue(myShape);

            }

        }

    }

}
