JSFL document.selection can't access more than 1 shape made with Merge Drawing mode

Question

When I select 2 shapes created using Merge Drawing mode, and try to access in JSFL using the code: an.outputPanel.clear();var doc = an.getDocumentDOM();an.trace("No. of selected items: " + doc.selection.length); only 1 selected.Shapes created using Object Drawing mode work fine though. Is there command in JSFL to access shapes created with Merge Drawing mode?

Hi,Unfortunately, a raw shape is treated as one single object in terms of "selection". But, you can iterate through contours within the shape and detect separate closed areas. See this thread:https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate/jsfl-how-to-get-separate-bounding-boxes-for-shapes-in-merge-drawing-mode/m-p/10596651?page=1#M196252

Think for a moment about what MERGE drawing mode actually does.
