There is no way to get two using one call to Photoshop. Just call Photoshop twice, once for each property you want. The time hit on calling for all properties is what you want to avoid!

It does not work two either. More than two does not work, but does not cause errors. What is your error?

You can use it. But there will be access not to all properties.

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
d = executeActionGet(r);

Slowly working for "application" and "document";

I do not know how to use action manager executeActionGet, But I would thing you woyl need to target some layer like the activelayer to get layer information. I do not see any layertarget pramenter for yoy GetIbfo function. if yoy are goinf after the active layer wiul the not be:

alert(app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name + " Visible= " + app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible);

Some Object needs to be addressed
