Reproduce JSFL path in Action Script

Would like to know how to reproduce a selected path into a swf extension tool. Or - how to take a curved path in a flash document using JSFL and reproduce it using ActionScript (into a swf extension). 

Effectively, is there a way to store the details of a path or an element into a table to be able to reproduce this path in Action Script (or even JSFL for that matter)?

I've read you can get shape.getCubicSegmentPoints(cubicSegmentIndex) so perhaps this is a good place to start?

Any tips, gotchas or links most appreciated.
