I want to get the multiple selected layers name.
I want to get the multiple selected layers name.
The "activeDocument.activeLayer" command returns only one layer name. Even if multiple layers were selected.
Can I solve the problem?

Please try this example...
#target Photoshop
app.bringToFront();
main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
var selectedLayers = getSelectedLayersIdx();
var selectedLayersNames =[];
for(var a in selectedLayers){
selectedLayersNames.push(getLayerNameByIndex( Number(selectedLayers) ));
}
alert("Number of Layers selected = " + selectedLayers.length + "\rLayer Names = " + selectedLayersNames.toString());
}
function getLayerNameByIndex( idx ) {
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr") , charIDToTypeID( "Nm " ));
ref.putIndex( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), idx );
return executeActionGet(ref).getString(charIDToTypeID( "Nm " ));;
};
function getSelectedLayersIdx(){
var selectedLayers = new Array;
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
if( desc.hasKey( stringIDToTypeID( 'targetLayers' ) ) ){
desc = desc.getList( stringIDToTypeID( 'targetLayers' ));
var c = desc.count
var selectedLayers = new Array();
for(var i=0;i<c;i++){
try{
activeDocument.backgroundLayer;
selectedLayers.push( desc.getReference( i ).getIndex() );
}catch(e){
selectedLayers.push( desc.getReference( i ).getIndex()+1 );
}
}
}else{
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID("Prpr") , charIDToTypeID( "ItmI" ));
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

selectedLayers.push( executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(charIDToTypeID( "ItmI" ))-1);
}catch(e){

}
}
return selectedLayers;
};
