Embed linked image by javascript

Hey guys im getting an error for using the action script listener for embed linked image.

 

Here's the error:

 

and here's the code I used:

 

EmbedImg();
function EmbedImg()
{
    var idplacedLayerConvertToEmbedded = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerConvertToEmbedded" );
    executeAction( idplacedLayerConvertToEmbedded, undefined, DialogModes.NO );
}
 
I tried to catch and ignore the error, but it only works on the first linked image. I have the latest version of photoshop.
 
try 
{
      EmbedImg();
} catch (ignored) {}

Before calling this function, you must make active or select (one or more) layers.

If you need to convert all layers of a document, then instead of selecting them in a loop, easier to do this:

 

 

var idplacedLayerEmbedAll = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerEmbedAll" );
executeAction( idplacedLayerEmbedAll, undefined, DialogModes.NO );

My suggestion is very close to the one supplied by Dmitry:

 

 

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerConvertToEmbedded'));

 

 

or

 

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerEmbedAll'));
