How to get nested attributes?

[jfsketch]

I have a dynamic component that has many layers of nested components. After I select the most parent component I'm trying to write a script that will work through the levels and get the attributes of the nested components. I can't figure out how to reference to the nested ENTITY's from the selected ENTITY.

Instances do not have their own entities - it uses the entities of its definition, so..

ins = Sketchup.active_model.selection[0]
entities = ins.definition.entities 

will give you the entities collection for the instance.
