How do I obtain a list of a document's "FontWeightNames"

I cannot find the correct way to obtain a list of a document's "FontWeightNames"

This is as I understand it (but it does not work):

var mydocweights = MyDoc.FontWeightNames

for (var i=0; i < mydocweights.length; i++) {

alert(mydocweights)
}

FontWeightNames are not a property of a document, but of the top-level app object. Try this:

alert (app.FontWeightNames);

Hi Rick,

Many thanks!

I may have been confused by the documentation  - I thought a "Session" was the open Book or Document:

"Denotes the font weight (specifies an index into the array of font weights provided by the session property

FontWeightNames)."

[frameexpert]

"Session" is actually the top-level-object in the FDK (Frame Developers Kit) and FrameScript. In ExtendScript, the "app" object is the equivalent. They probably used app because it is more in line with other Adobe scripting environments. The documentation was probably derived from the FDK docs and maybe that is how Session got in there.
