  • Can't play around in Illustrator right now to give a specific answer. But I'm looking at the Scripting Reference... does the length property, or such methods as getByName or index get you close to what you need? I know that Illustrator scripting can be really frustrating and Adobe's documentation isn't all that helpful :(

  • @Brendan I have read documentation and realize that graphicStyles (getByName and index) is returning not groupItem as it is said in the documentation, but graphicStyle.

I don't know what you make with all objects, but if you wuold select all item with same graphic style you can use app.executeMenuCommand('Find Style menu item'); script after selection active on one object with choosen style.

For example: choose 1 object and launch this script:

app.executeMenuCommand('Find Style menu item');
for(var i=0;i<app.selection.length;i++){
app.selection[i].doSomething;
 }

Hope it's work for you.
