Convert Illustrator script from cs3 to CS5

Question

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to illustrator scripting I did some simple InDesign script before but this the first time I am ask to create script for Illustrator.
We have an old script that will create a report for the properties (e.i.: fonts, linkedImages, strokeWeights, dashes, strokeColors, etc.) of illustrator file. The script is working in CS2 and CS3 but since most of production people are now using CS5 and CS6 they ask if we could migrate this script to CS5. The script is using hashtable.jsx to get those properties. Does the CS5 script still need hashstable file or I have to create the script from scratch with out using the hashtable script?
Any suggestion or information on how I could convert the script to higher version is mostly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

I can't see #include in the script the only thing hashtable is called by this function. According to what I've read about the hashtable.jsx since it is in the startup script folder illustrator will autoload this script upon launching of the application.
function TechArtProperties(parent) {
  this.width = 0;
  this.height = 0;
  this.colorMode = DocumentColorSpace;
  this.fonts = new Hashtable();
  this.embeddedImages = new Hashtable();
  this.linkedImages = new Hashtable();
  this.lockedObjects = 0;
  this.hiddenObjects = 0;
  this.strokeWeights = new Hashtable();
  this.dashes = new Hashtable();
  this.strokeColors = new Hashtable();
  this.fillColors = new Hashtable();
  this.effects = new Hashtable();
  this.brushes = new Hashtable();
  this.transparencies = new Hashtable();
  this.gradients = new Hashtable();
  this.layers = new Hashtable();
  this.parent = parent;
  this.total =0;
  this.artName = "";
