[Closed] SO level transforms trouble

I am trying to create functions for moving, scaling and rotating a group of subobjects. sounds simple, but I can’t seem to get scale and rotate to work on the SO level. For example:

For some reason (which I am sure is too simple for me to grasp ),

[color=yellow]move $.selectedVerts [0.9,0.9,0.9]

works fine, however

scale $.selectedVerts [0.9,0.9,0.9]

and

rot_box = eulerangles 0 0 1
in coordsys local
rotate $.selectedVerts rot_box

gives me “undefined”!

Anyone have an idea whats wrong here? Thanks!
