Hi Maria, try this

var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var itext = idoc.textFrames[0];
//alert(itext.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor);
var fillColor = itext.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor;
var strokeColor = itext.textRange.characterAttributes.strokeColor;
filled = stroked = "yes";
if (fillColor=="[NoColor]")
        filled = "No";
if (strokeColor=="[NoColor]")
        stroked = "No";
alert("Filled: " + filled + "\n" + "Stroked: " + stroked);

Maria, if you are talking about the path of an 'area text frame' then you need to look at it's 'text path' to read the properties of that… Eg

#target illustrator

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var tFrame = doc.textFrames[0];

if (tFrame.textPath.filled) {
     
     alert( 'Text Frame is filled with ' + tFrame.textPath.fillColor.typename );
     
};

if (tFrame.textPath.stroked) {

     alert( 'Text Frame is stroked with ' + tFrame.textPath.strokeColor.typename );
     
};
