    From my understanding, you're looking to create artwork film creation through SKILL API and then modify the parameters and other artwork controls through SKILL only, here are a few SKILL APIs which you may use to explore for your requirement and achieve the film related tasks:
    1. axlFilmCreate
    -Creates a new artwork film or replaces an existing artwork film.
    Eg: axlFilmCreate("Testfilm", ?layers '("ETCH/INNER1"))

    2. axlVisibleUpdate() function to update any form that display color or visibility to the user. So, after creating films, you must run the display update to see the changes.

    3. axlGetParam() function gets parameter dbid for a named object.
    Eg: You can check the names of existing films by typing the following SKILL command at the Skill prompt:
    axlGetParam("artwork")->??
    (This will list the current films in the design.)

    4. axlDeleteObject() which deletes single or list of database bjects from database.
    You can delete all artwork films in the design by using the following SKILL command:
    axlDeleteObject(axlGetParam("artwork"))
    This will delete all films (individual and default) from the design.

    5. You can get film's specific parameters using axlGetParam() function by using commands like
    axlGetParam("artwork")->groupMembers
    axlGetParam("artwork:TOP")
    axlGetParam("artwork:TOP")~>??
    axlGetParam("artwork:TOP")~>undefineLineWidth

    Suggested these SKIL APIs which you may look as an example to begin with.
    You may refer the Allegro SKILL User Guide which lists the details about these SKILL API and its related parameters in detail. 
    I hope this helps.
