How to rotate selection with javascript?

[falsevacuum]

Hi,

i can't figure out how to simple rotate selected object with javascript. I read the 'Illustrator CS3 scripting guide' and wrote this code:

var myObject = app.activeDocument.selection;
myObject.rotate(30);

but it isn't working (Error24: myObject.rotate is not a function). Please someone tell me what am I doing wrong here.

Selection is an Array of objects you will probably need loop thru each object in your selection array

Thank you very much, you point me in the right direction. This code works for me:

var mySelection = app.activeDocument.selection;
var myObject = mySelection[0];
myObject.rotate(-2);

That is going to rotate the first item of your selection (OK if you only have one item selected) the other option for multi items would be to move them into new group item, rotate this (as it has a rotate method) then move items back out of group.
