Retrieving the selected anchor points coordinates.

Question

I have read the scripting guide,
and learned about finding coordinates this way:
var aDoc = activeDocument;
var topObject = aDoc.selection[0];
var coord = topObject.pathPoints[0].anchor
alert(coord[0])
I'm wondering how you would find the coordinates of a selected anchor point.
For example: You make a hexagon, and then click on a single anchor point with the direct select tool.
I want the script to know the coordinates of that anchor point.
I'm using javascript and CS5.
Thanks!

Answer 1

hmm....selected path points include direction handles, so this should get us the correct coordinates
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ipath = idoc.pathItems[0];
var sel = ipath.selectedPathPoints;
//alert(sel.length);
for (i=0; i<sel.length; i++) {
          var pp = sel[i];
          if (pp.selected == PathPointSelection.ANCHORPOINT)
                    alert(pp.anchor);
  //$.writeln(pp.selected);
  //$.writeln(pp.anchor);
