something like that:

var aFile = File.openDialog ();
var aPlaced = app.activeDocument.placedItems.add();
aPlaced.file = aFile;

a warning window (!) appears before you specify where to insert the file.

you might not be able to do that, you could either use placedItems.add() then feed a file or if your file changes everytime you run your script, have the script prompt you to select a file via selectDlg

Thanks CarlosCanto!

Using File.openDialog, I got the path to the desired file.
but...
I can't figure out how to bind the path and name to the "placedItems" I created.

Hi @Dmitriy27445167miri

What is the purpose of doing this?

You mean you want to cancel this operation after selecting the file?

Best regards
