It doesn't look like the scripting terminology actually says that you  
can get graphics from a document.. it's possible (but extremely  
awkward) to build this kind of reference, and I don't remember how off  
the top of my head.  I guess you will have to wait for the next version  
of aeve.  You could try AppScripting until then.
