I thought this would be simple but ive tried a few things and nothing seems to work.

Ive tried

myDoc.layers[0].rotate = 90

and ive tried

myDoc.rotate = 90 but neither seems to work right.

Best way I can think of is to select everything is then run:

for (i in selection) {
selection.rotate(-90);
}

(edit: maybe you should add a try-catch statement around the rotation bit, just in case it fails.)

For example, if you want to rotate the first Symbol Item in the first layer 90 degrees clockwise, you do it like so:

activeDocument.layers[0].symbolItems[0].rotate(-90);

Neither the Document nor the Layer object have a rotate method. I think you need to rotate all the items within a document (or layer) one by one in order to achieve what you want.
