Embedding image using a script - wrong size

Question

Hi, Using the following script I try to embed an image from one file to an image from another file. The files are at the same resolution (px and dpi). When embedded manually, it inserts correctly, filling the whole picture. But when embedded via scrip, it is resize to something around 10% of the original dimensions. How can I fix it? placeEmbeded(filePath);

function placeEmbeded(filePath) {

var actDesc = new ActionDescriptor();

actDesc.putPath(charIDToTypeID('null'), filePath);

actDesc.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('FTcs'), charIDToTypeID('QCSt'), charIDToTypeID('Qcsa'));

executeAction(charIDToTypeID('Plc '), actDesc, DialogModes.NO);

Your code doesn't work for me (even when adding the missing closing brace).

This works for me:

placeFile(new File("~/Desktop/place.psd"), false, 0, 0);

function placeFile(thePath, linked, xPosition, yPosition) {
    var s2t = function (s) {
        return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
    };
    var AD = new ActionDescriptor();
    AD.putInteger(s2t("ID"), 1);
    AD.putPath(s2t("null"), thePath); // file path
    AD.putBoolean(s2t("linked"), linked); // false for embedded
    AD.putEnumerated(s2t("freeTransformCenterState"), s2t("quadCenterState"), s2t("QCSAverage")); // transform
    AD.putUnitDouble(s2t("horizontal"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), xPosition); // x coordinate position
    AD.putUnitDouble(s2t("vertical"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), yPosition); // y coordinate position
    executeAction(s2t("placeEvent"), AD, DialogModes.NO);
}
