Hello,
I am new to Photoshop scripting, and I’ve come across a lot of terms like ActionDescriptor, stringIDToTypeID, putEnumerated, and similar concepts, but I don’t fully understand them.

Can anyone help me understand these or point me to examples or tutorials?
Also, are these only related to smart objects, or do they apply to other areas as well?

See »Action Manager« here for example:

Those terms are related to Action Manager code, as opposed to Object Document Model code.

That’s the kind of code one can generate by recording operations in Photoshop with ScriptingListener.plugin

I have a layer (a logo on a mug) that I converted to a smart object. I want to resize it and apply a wrap effect. How can I do this?

Why would you need a Script for that?

What are you actually trying to do/automate?

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?
