Set reset position of multiple selected objects using code

I can run the following code to set reset position of a selected object:

treenode selected_ = selectedobject(nodefromwindow(activedocumentview())); 
if (selected_) 
	setresetposition(selected_);

If I select multiple objects, only the last selected object is affected. How to set for all selected objects at once?

What is this menu option in the screenshot doing in the background?

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.2

flexscript selected objects set reset

The selectedobject() command only gives you the object with a yellow box highlighting it. To find out all the objects in your model that have a red box around them you need to loop through all the objects in the model and ask each one if it has a red box.

This is the code that the right click option is using:

forobjecttreeunder(model()) {
	if (switch_selected(a, -1))
		setresetposition(a);	
}

Where can I find a list of methods like 'forobjecttreeunder' which are not documented in the user manual?

That command is an exception. For some reason it is currently marked as a developer only command.
