I am trying to work out some changes to an image placing script [Thanks Olav!!!] but am having some trouble with things I thought would be super simple:

The script makes an image box:
set myBox to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2}}

I'd like to specify immediately to give the box a stroke of 1 pt and make the stroke black. When I try this I get a box but no applied properties:

set myBox to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2},stroke weight:"1", stroke color: "Black"}

Also doing this does NOT work:
tell myPage
			set myBox to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2}}
			tell myBox
					set stroke weight to "1"
					set stroke color to swatch "Black"
			end tell
end tell

I get an error about the box not understanding the message to color it, with what is a double description of the color spec... "Cant set stroke color of rectangle id xx of page id xx of spread id xx of document x to swatch "Black" of rectangle id xx of page id xx of spread id xx of document x"
Why is the color spec trying to tie itself to the box? I get the same problem if I try "set stroke color to swatch "Black" of document 1"

But this does work:
tell myPage
		set myBox to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2}}
				tell myBox
					set stroke weight to "1"
				end tell
		end tell
set stroke color of myBox to swatch "Black" of document 1

Why do I need to set the box specs way outside of a simple tell to itself? Is there another way to set the "Properties" of the box as it is made that is completely undiscoverable?

Thanks, Chris
