Applescript 'border element' Q

[chris denesha]

Technical Q: Is there a reason why I cannot GET the fill gradient of a border, when I know there is one?

-- Applescript
set myPageBorder to page border of page 1 of document 1
set myGradient to fill gradient of myPageBorder
-- end Applescript

If instead I get the Fill Ink and determine that it is gradient ink, I can then SET the properties of the fill gradient of myPageBorder.

Also, what is the 'background gradient' of a page border - is it the frame?

thx,

chris
