How to reflect in script?

Hi,

I want the equivalent of choosing Object > Transform > Reflect, across the Vertical axis. How would I do this with JavaScript?

Thanks,

Max

Max this is AppleScript but should at least give you a clue to using the transform object and matrix values. You should be able to translate to JavaScript.

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
activate
set Doc_Ref to the current document
tell Doc_Ref
set Group_XY to position of group item 1 of layer 1
set RefVert_Matrix to ¬
{class:matrix, mvalue_a:-1.0, mvalue_b:0.0, mvalue_c:0.0, mvalue_d:1.0, mvalue_tx:0.0, mvalue_ty:0.0}
transform group item 1 of layer 1 using RefVert_Matrix about center
set position of group item 1 of layer 1 to Group_XY
end tell
end tell

BTW when ever I have used this it always appears to move very slightly so check your bounds before and after.
