Oh, sorry, I didn't realize I was in the scripting forum. Duh!

Well, look at the document preferences object and you're see that's true.

A way to dig out this kind of information is to do a search of the Scripting Reference using strokeColor. There are 24 hits. One of them will be in the object you want ... Hmm, the only default hit I get is for textDefaults.

Ah, but you can set the value for object styles, so perhaps that's the way to do it: set the Basic Text Frame and Basic Graphics Frame styles and then apply them.

That's the way I usually work when creating frames: don't both with defaults, set them when I make them, either in a properties record in the add() call or after the fact.

And, of course, for scripts, you can get at default settings without worrying about the presence of documents or the state of the selection.
