exportSVG in jsfl run as a command in adobe animate doesn't work

[adrianh76916960]

In Adobe Animate and with a .fla file (after importing a swf file using import to stage), I run this script

var exportFileName = 'file:///C|/temp/files/a.svg'; 
fl.getDocumentDOM().exportSVG(exportFileName, true, true);

it doesn't seem to do anything at all...no svg file is created at all. If I change exportSVG to exportPNG with the same parameters it does seem to work. I have found a couple of examples online using this exportSVG function but I can't find any official documentation (no documentation for exportPNG either).

Does anyone know how to make this work, know if it should work or at least might be able to point me to some documenation?

As additional info, if I add trace statements that the content of the output panel is wiped clean as soon as the exportSVG line gets hit. I've also played around with the parameters of exportSVG and nothing seems to work. If I use the file menu 'export (legacy)' and choose svg, I am able to export it manually

Using Adobe Animate CC v18.0 Build 107

ExportSVG now works without defining SVG as a desired output.  BUT, it doesn't allow you to input the name or path of the resulting SVG.
