creating object with properties

Hi guys!

I'm trying to figure out how exactly creation properties work.

Here is some rectangle:

myFrame = app.activeDocument.pages[0].rectangles.add({
     geometricBounds: [0,0,100,100],
     fillColor: 'None',
     contentType: ContentType.GRAPHIC_TYPE
});

I want to add frameFittingOptions to in while I'm creating whole object, so:

     ...
     contentType: ContentType.GRAPHIC_TYPE,
     frameFittingOptions.fittingOnEmptyFrame: EmptyFrameFittingOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY
});

And now I'm reciving error:

Where is my mistake?

Can I pass all properties during creating object?

Thanks for any feedback,

Jarek

    Heh, it is now quite obvious! Thank you, Loic.Aigon.

    Now there is second part of my problem. Can I add any type of property corresponding to object type?

    For example I'm trying to add grep style to a paragraph style the same way I did with frameFittingOptions:

    myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    myStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.add({
        name: "BODY",
        nestedGrepStyles: {
            appliedCharacterStyle: myDoc.characterStyles.item('some style'),
            grepExpression: 'some expression'
        }
    });

    And it doesn't work, style is being created, but without grep style.

    Ok, Marc, I understand. Everything is clear now, I see the difference.

    Thank you!

    Hi all!

    In a similar way, I've a problem to add an auto-resizing property when I create an object style!

        try {
            var myOStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.item("mySel");
            myOStyle.name;
        }  catch (e) {
                var myOStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.add({name: "mySel", enableFill: false, enableStroke: false});
        }

        myFrame.textFramePreferences.autoSizingType = AutoSizingTypeEnum.HEIGHT_AND_WIDTH;
        myFrame.textFramePreferences.useNoLineBreaksForAutoSizing = true;

    Thanks in advance!
