Hi Muhammad.eloc,

you can try something like this:

var totalMatrix = app.getScaleMatrix(-100,100);


app.activeDocument.activeLayer.pathItems[0].transform(totalMatrix);

e.g. for the first path item in the active layer

Have fun

var totalMatrix = app.getScaleMatrix(-100, 100); // Create the scale matrix

 

var layer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer; // Get the active layer

 

for (var i = 0; i < layer.pageItems.length; i++) {
        // Iterate through all items in the layer
        var currentItem = layer.pageItems[i];

 

        // Check if the item's name is "verso" before applying the scale matrix
        if (currentItem.name === "verso") {
                currentItem.transform(totalMatrix);
        }
}

But u got change the name of the object to "verso" and the layers to "Camada 1"
