Hello, is there any way to check in JavaScript what is the type of some PageItem. For example I have a Rectangle, and when I try to do it that way it return useless information:

alert(app.activeDocument.pageItems.item(0).constructor.name);

The result is "PageItem" :/

In VBScript it is very easy, I can use TypeName() function, but i need this script working on MacOS.

Can anyone help me????
Thanks in advance
