Duplicate Part of a Compound Path Question

Hello All,

Is there a way Script wise that I can only duplicate the outermost path of a Compound Path?

My first attempt was to duplicate the whole compound path which worked... if I selected the Script manually... and did not work when I used the Action Panel to call the Script.

    var objectHeight = selectedObject.height;
    var objectWidth = selectedObject.width;
    var duplicatedObject = selectedObject.duplicate();
        duplicatedObject.left = selectedObject.left - (objectWidth * 2);
   app.activeDocument.selection = null;
    duplicatedObject.selected = true;
    app.executeMenuCommand("noCompoundPath");
    app.executeMenuCommand("ungroup");
