Applying Feathered Gradient in AppleScript?

Question

Looking to be able to control feathered gradient in AppleScript but can't seem to get anywhere. Tried using graident options that I could find but don't seem to be doing anything? Thanks.

This code doesn't seem to do anything.

set myColor to make color with properties {model:process, color value:{50, 50, 10, 0}, name:"myColor"}

tell rectangle 1
set fill tint to 20
set fill color to "myColor"

--Tried various setting below but NG--
   set gradient fill start to {0, 20}
   set gradient fill length to 25
   set gradient stroke length to 50
   set gradient stroke start to {0, 20}
end tell

Would like to do some effect like below if possible:

If you create a new gradient by default you will have a two stop gradient with a mid point of 50… Either add to or alter the stops that are there… Here I have added 2 new colors then created a grad then put the new colors in the stops…

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"

tell document 1

set ColorA to make color with properties ¬

{model:process, color value:{50, 50, 10, 0}, name:"Color A"}

set ColorB to make color with properties ¬

{model:process, color value:{0, 50, 100, 0}, name:"Color B"}

set GradAtoB to make new gradient ¬

with properties {name:"Gradient A-B"}

set stop color of first gradient stop of GradAtoB to ColorA

set stop color of last gradient stop of GradAtoB to ColorB

set fill color of the first rectangle to GradAtoB

end tell
