How can I get this script 'to connect all the corner points of a path by straight lines' working?
I downloaded a script called 'All Points' from here but it is not working: www.wundes.com/JS4AI/
To explain further: if I have a square, I can just connect the diagonally opposite points to create diagonal lines. This gets very complex when dealing with shapes with a large number of points as exemplified here: js4ai.blogspot.in/2009/05/spoze-you-have-shape-like-this-and-you.html
The script shows an error, after I select a polygon and run it:
Error 8705: Target layer cannot be modified
Line: 195
var shapeGroup = app.activeDocument.groupItems.add();
PS: The script also finds a mention in the answer to this question.

As the error suggests, the layer can't be modified, which means the selected layer is either hidden or locked. Be aware that the active layer is not the same as the layer of the object[s] you have selected. The active layer is the layer that is highlighted in the layers panel.
As you can see here, the object selected is on "Layer 1", the selected layer is "Layer 2". Since that layer is hidden, if you run the script now you get the error "Target layer cannot be modified":
Make sure the layer is visible and the script works as expected:
