Applescript and iCal

Question

Hi,
I'm new to Applescript and have a litte problem with iCal. In my script I want to get a list of all summaries of a iCal calendar. But for some reasons I want to set all events to a variable first and get the summary of all events from this variable (and not directly from iCal). I tried it in this way:
tell application "Calendar"
          set sumList to summary of events of calendar "Sync"   -- works fine, result is a list of all summaries
          set calList to events of calendar "Sync"                         -- works fine, result is a list of claendar events
          set sumList1 to get summary of every item of calList -- doesn't work (error 1728)
end tell
Any ideas why the 3rd line doesn't work?

You can get more than one property at a time (in the same loop).  For example, the following, will give you a list of lists (with a sublist for each event which contains the summary, start date, end date, uid).  However, if you explain what you are trying to do, there may be a better way.
tell application "Calendar"
          set calList to events of calendar "XX"
          set propList to {}
          repeat with calEvent in calList
      copy {summary, start date, end date, uid} of calEvent to end of propList
  end repeat
end tell
propList
