I'd like to export certain properties from an ai-document to XML. The XML will be post-processed using XSLT. Secretly, I'm hoping that I can invoke the Reflection-system (as mentioned brifely, I might add) in the ExtendedScript Toolkit CS6 Core JavaScript Classes.


Do anyone know how to get reflection working for JavaScript objects (both built-in and the ones I've created in code my self)? Are there any guides that are relevant in my case? (Try googling "illustrator script reflection" and you get a bunch of flip object scripts ...)

    Found it. Had to alter my google query ... (Try "extendscript reflection", and you'll see what I mean.)

    For reference, try the following:

    var xmlSource = myCustomObject.reflect.toXML();
    alert ( xmlSource );
