Script to open the Open Dialog Window

Hello everyone!

I'm new to scripting and this is probably an easy question but I'm trying to write a script that opens the Open Dialog Window. Basically I need to start the script in one active document, have the script open the Open Dialog (to let the user select another image) and then finish the script in the newly opened document. Every script I find is to open a specific file, but I need it to be User Selected through the Open Dialog of Photoshop.

I hope that makes sense! LOL. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Bradi

Below is an example of how to prompt for a file. You can find details about File and Folder classes/object in the JavaScript Tools Guide. That PDF can be found in a subfolder where ExtendScript Toolkit is installed.

var myFile = File.openDialog("Selection prompt");

if(myFile != null) app.open(myFile);
