Kieth,
My example was for an external javascript (e.g. .js file).
Trying to change the active symbol from within a running AFL is probably not a good idea (if at all possible) since you would effectively be executing AFL code that would be cutting your feet out from under yourself (i.e. running script over a symbol that changed the symbol before the script was finished running).
What would you expect the result to be if you had something like this:
_TRACE("Close is: " + Close);
<swap out symbol>
_TRACE("Close is: " + Close);
I'm not sure exactly what scenario you are trying to capture. But, what I was suggesting was to run an external javascript to drive AmiBroker, not driving AmiBroker from within AmiBroker.
However, to answer your question; Your problem is that you are mixing javascript and AFL incorrectly. You would just need to use AFL.
e.g.
AB = CreateObject(...);
Doc = AB.ActiveDocument;
Doc.Name = ...
