How do I export only the selected XML element to file? When I try this:



 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	tell document 1 
		tell XML export preferences 
			set export from selected to true 
		end tell 
			export format "xml" to "Macintosh HD:Users:richardr:Desktop:kasta.xml" without showing options 
	end tell 
end tell 




the xml export elements preference seems to change but the exported file still contains the whole structure. If I set it to "with showing options" and just click OK in the UI the selected elemens only gets exported.

What do I do to export the selected element only?
