Scripting Color Range Command getting output values?

I am currently trying to script the color range command, to allow one pass to effect the next. Specically with midtones which have three input values (fuzziness, midtonesLowerLimit and midtonesUpperLimit). 

 

How do i get these values from the command??

 

I have a sucessfully extracted the color range command from script listener and am able to input values. However i am really struggling to get values from it.

 

I know i need to use the executeActionGet command, but havent a clue how to implement it,

 

Here is my script for which allows me to input values, could someone show me how to get values from the last run command.

 

function colorRange(fuzz, lowLim, highLim){


var idClrR = charIDToTypeID( "ClrR" );
    var desc25 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idClrs = charIDToTypeID( "Clrs" );
    var idClrs = charIDToTypeID( "Clrs" );
    var idMdtn = charIDToTypeID( "Mdtn" );
    desc25.putEnumerated( idClrs, idClrs, idMdtn );
    var idmidtonesFuzziness = stringIDToTypeID( "midtonesFuzziness" );
    desc25.putInteger( idmidtonesFuzziness, fuzz );
    var idmidtonesLowerLimit = stringIDToTypeID( "midtonesLowerLimit" );
    desc25.putInteger( idmidtonesLowerLimit, lowLim );
    var idmidtonesUpperLimit = stringIDToTypeID( "midtonesUpperLimit" );
    desc25.putInteger( idmidtonesUpperLimit, highLim );
    var idcolorModel = stringIDToTypeID( "colorModel" );
    desc25.putInteger( idcolorModel, 1 );
    var iddimension = stringIDToTypeID( "dimension" );
    desc25.putInteger( iddimension, 5 );
    var idposGaussClusters = stringIDToTypeID( "posGaussClusters" );
    desc25.putInteger( idposGaussClusters, 7 );
    var idposGaussTolerance = stringIDToTypeID( "posGaussTolerance" );
    desc25.putDouble( idposGaussTolerance, 0.156860 );
    var idposSpaGaussTolerance = stringIDToTypeID( "posSpaGaussTolerance" );
    desc25.putDouble( idposSpaGaussTolerance, 1.000000 );
    var idposGaussParams = stringIDToTypeID( "posGaussParams" );

I have found some help on this courtesy of the following board How do I find out the value passed to Action in jsx? 

 

function ColorRange () {
    try {
    var desc16 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idClrs = charIDToTypeID( "Clrs" );
    var idClrs = charIDToTypeID( "Clrs" );
    var idMdtn = charIDToTypeID( "Mdtn" );
    desc16.putEnumerated( idClrs, idClrs, idMdtn );
    var theRes = executeAction(charIDToTypeID( "ClrR" ), desc16, DialogModes.ALL );
    return theRes
    } catch (e) {return false}
    };
var theRes = ColorRange();
checkDesc2 (theRes);
////////////////////////////////////
////// based on code by michael l hale //////
function checkDesc2 (theDesc) {
    var c = theDesc.count;
    var str = '';
    for(var i=0;i<c;i++){ //enumerate descriptor's keys
        str = str + 'Key '+i+' = '+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getKey(i))+': '+theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(i))+'\n'+getValues (theDesc, i)+'\n';

        };
    alert("desc\n\n"+ str);
    return str
    };
////// check //////
function getValues (theDesc, theNumber) {
    switch (theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))) {
    case DescValueType.ALIASTYPE:
    return theDesc.getPath(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE:
    return theDesc.getBoolean(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.CLASSTYPE:
    return theDesc.getClass(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.DOUBLETYPE:
    return theDesc.getDouble(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE:
    return (typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getEnumerationValue(theDesc.getKey(theNumber)))+"_"+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getEnumerationType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))));
    break;
    case DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE:
    return theDesc.getInteger(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.LISTTYPE:
    return theDesc.getList(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE:
    return (theDesc.getObjectValue(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))+"_"+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getObjectType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))));
    break;
    case DescValueType.RAWTYPE:
    return theDesc.getReference(theDesc.getData(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.REFERENCETYPE:
    return theDesc.getReference(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.STRINGTYPE:
    return theDesc.getString(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    break;
    case DescValueType.UNITDOUBLE:
    return (theDesc.getUnitDoubleValue(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))+"_"+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getUnitDoubleType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))));
    break;
    default: 
    break;
    };
    };

 

However i'm still not sure how to extract the values from this script, they are appearing correctly on an alert, but i want to have them seperated to pass on to a following color range command

    I been searching for something like this, as I can return the value/radius of a filter that has one input, but can't really figure out how when the filter has 2 or 3 values. I'm trying to make a script that takes the blur radius, and divide that number by 3 to get its values, then multiply the blur radius by 2. Like I said I can do this using Gaussian Blur or Median as the user just uses one input. Any suggestions?

    Hmmm....

     

    //Fuzziness, Lower Limit, Upperlimit, ?
colorRangeMidtones(50, 25, 75, 0);

function colorRangeMidtones(midtonesFuzziness, midtonesLowerLimit, midtonesUpperLimit, colorModel) {
	var s2t = function (s) {
		return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
	};
	var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
	descriptor.putEnumerated( s2t( "colors" ), s2t( "colors" ), s2t( "midtones" ));
	descriptor.putInteger( s2t( "midtonesFuzziness" ), midtonesFuzziness );
	descriptor.putInteger( s2t( "midtonesLowerLimit" ), midtonesLowerLimit );
	descriptor.putInteger( s2t( "midtonesUpperLimit" ), midtonesUpperLimit );
	descriptor.putInteger( s2t( "colorModel" ), colorModel );
	executeAction( s2t( "colorRange" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );

    Hi Stephen, 

     

    Lovely work,

     

    However what i am wanting is to be able to get the values not input them, any idea how to do that?
