Vegas 4 Scripting API Summary Request

With all due respect to the authors of the Vegas 4 Scripting API Summary, could someone explain the logic of its layout? If not, could you please, please, please list the classes in Alphabetical Order, because I find it hard to find what I need. I see that all the enumerations are at the top, which is great, but the classes seem to be in no particular order. I also see that all the Events are together even though they are named TrackEvent, AudioEvent, VideoEvent, which you would loose if they were just alphabetized so perhaps the document needs some categorization as well.

I just find myself scanning the document over, and over, and over looking for what I need. I sure do miss OO hierarchies and JavaDoc but I understand that Jscript is not hierarchical. Thanks,

I'll see what I can do... I think currently things are ordered based
on when the compiler hits the inline docs in the source code. Maybe I
can also generate an alphabetical index at the bottom of the page.

If there are any XSL gurus out there, I'd be happy to share the XML
source document.

Ah yes…that’s the problem with generated docs. They do mimic the code structure. Thanks for anything you can do. You guys are great!

Another thing that would be useful would be examples of how each call is made below the description. Some of the documentation is really confusing when you are not used to reading functions in this manner. Having never programmed in java, it's a little difficult to get everything translated into something I understand. The FAQ by SonicPJM has helped tremendously.

Examples of the use of each would be great.

I've written a few useful scripts, but today I wanted to have a script apply a random transition to each overlap and found the following under 'Fade' transition:
Object Transition Get or set the transition effect used in the fade

I was able to read it fine, but it's not clear to me how I create a Transition object?

I'm lacking in 'object or' programming, examples make it much easier!

Found a example of setting a transistion effect in the FAQ.

Thanks!
