hello,

I am trying to export a report so I have a list of smartobject that each one have a stroke from the layer style how can I access the thickness and color of this stroke I tried this

```auto
import { app } from "photoshop";
const doc = app.activeDocument;
const rootLayers = doc.layers;

rootLayers.map((layer) => {
// I can't access the layer effects from here
})

```

is it applicable on batchPlay side?

Forum search usually helps. [This topic](http://forums.creativeclouddeveloper.com/t/access-smartobject-transform-properties/5349) might give some hints

I’m trying to make a real-time slider for rotating and scaling multiple smart objects… But I’m finding that using relative rotation and scale makes for unreliable results. Thanks!

thanks for the reply @Karmalakas I will check it and give it a try, I found all the attribute of the layer except the stroke in this solution but it is a great start

Check `"layerEffects\":{\"frameFX\":` in the layer’s json property.

thank you @AnthonyK , I will give it a try, just a quick question this is done by using “scenegraph” right?

I’m not sure what “scenegraph” is.

I’m talking about using the Alchemist plugin to get this information.
