Can we put all the images, Rectangle, Oval, Polygon, and Graphline in the selection into one collection?

Question

I have selected some text that may contain images Rectangle、Oval、Polygon、Graphicline。
I don't want to distinguish what these objects are, I want to push them all into one collection.

I want to use for to traverse them in the future. Can it be achieved?

like this:

var d = app.activeDocument;
var sel= d.selection;
var s= d.selection[0]; 
var ob=[ob0,ob2,ob3.....]

for(var i=0;i<ob.length;i++){
ob[i]
}

How to check the type of pageItems [0], such as constructor. name.Now I understand pageItems and allPageItemsIt’s important to note that allpageItems is an array while pageItems is a collection. You can convert a collection into an array with getElements, but it would not include the images inside of the rectangles.If I run this code the 2 images are not included in the page items collection, but they are in the all page items array:var s = app.selection[0];var api = s.allPageItemsvar pi = s.pageItemsalert(pi.length + " page items: \r" +pi.everyItem().getElements())alert(api.constructor.name + " with " + api.length + " items: \r" + api)

If your selection is the textframe containing all these elements then the following code will give you the collection of the pageItemsapp.selection[0].pageItems
