ALI Scripting Framework question: PTPortalPage() - I can't find any example

Question

I can't successfully create an array or portlet objects using the getPortlets() method of the PTPortalPage object in a portlet using the ALI scripting framework.
The .zip file containing scripting framework samples (https://codesamples.projects.dev2dev.bea.com/servlets/ScarabDownload/resultpos/-1/nbrresults/0/remcurreport/true/template/ViewAttachment.vm/attachid/5124/filename/ALI_Scripting_Framework_Samples.zip) doesn't have any examples.
var arrPortlets = new Array(PTPortalPage.getPortlets());
alert(arrPortlets.length);
This code says I only have one portlet on the page, but I have 3. Also, I'm unable to loop through the one in returned and turn it into PTPortlet object so that I can get the name and id of the portlet.
Does anyone have a code sample on how to loop through the portlets on a page using the ali scripting framework's PTPortalPage.getPortlets()?

Answer 1

Got it. I wouldn't particularly call the return value of the getPortlets() method an array of PTPortal objects - but rather it's just an array of ids.
var arrIDs = PTPortalPage.getPortlets();
for (var i in arrIDs)
var portlet = new PTPortlet.getPortletByID(i);
alert("pid: " + portlet.id + ", name: " + portlet.name);
}
