Script menu commands that require additional input

Not sure if I'm improperly using the correct answer marking here or not, but..... renél80416020's post led to ultimately fixing my primary problem the easiest way, so I marked it as correct.

Hi Maple_Stirrup, you can perform transformations on pageItems using those item's "methods" which do something to the item. For example, a PathItem has a these methods.

So, for example, the rotate method looks like this:

yourPathItem.rotate(angle[,changePositions][,changeFillPatterns][,changeFillGradients][,changeStrokePattern][,rotateAbout])

Here's how you'd use it:

// grab the first path item in the document
var myPathItem = app.activeDocument.pathItems[0];

// rotate it by 45 degrees
myPathItem.rotate(45);

// rotate it by another 45 degrees from the bottom left
myPathItem.rotate(45, false, false, false, false, Transformation.BOTTOMLEFT);

The second version includes all the optional parameters. Parameters are the equivalent of the "fields" you enter when you rotate via the GUI. The 45 parameter is the rotation angle.
