The object is rotated counter-clockwise if the Angle value is positive, clockwise if the value is negative. Transforms the compound path by applying a transformation matrix Repositions the compound path relative to the current position, where deltaX is the horizontal offset and deltaY is the vertical offset Arranges the compound path's position in the stacking order of the group or layer (Parent) of this object Notes Paths contained within a compound path or group in a document will be returned as individual paths when a script asks for the paths contained in the document. However, paths contained in a compound path or group will not be returned when a script asks for the paths in a layer which contains the compound path or group. All paths inside of a compound path share property values. Therefore, if you set the value of a property of any one of the paths in the compound path, all other path's matching property will be updated to the new value. The PathItems property provides access to the paths that make up the compound path. 12 Aug 03
