Your script can access PageItems as elements of either the Layer object or as elements of the Document object. When accessing PageItems as elements of a layer, only objects in that layer can be accessed. To access PageItems throughout the entire document, be sure to refer to them as contained by the document. The Move method does not change the position of the object on the art board, it changes the order in which Illustrator draws the objects, and the containment hierarchy. It also places the object in the specified container, behind all other such objects.
