Is there a way to script "expand appearance"?

I created a method to create line art roofing shingles row-by-row. I think that something like this is a good candidate for the script, but I run quickly deadlocked trying to this script. Basically, I use "expand appearance" several times during this process and I can't find any way for that action script. I've heard about using MenuIDs, but I can't find anything on how to find out what is the Flash to "expand appearance".

In any case, here is the tutorial. If anyone can give me some advice on how to script this process, I would be very grateful.

I also tried to save an action, but "expand appearance" is not be saved.

I used the option Menu to add for mine and it works fine. Unfortunately, ExtendScript (Adobe's Java version) provides no support for the call doScript. You can use VB to do it on Windows.
