Scriptlistener: scripting save as GIF with loop endless and file name as layer name

Question

I have script to export to animated GIF that gives

the file name after the name of the selected Photoshop layer.

It works fine but Looping options is always

set to "ONCE". I need looping to be set "FOREVER".

To solve the problem I am trying to use scriptlistener.

The scriptlistener produces proper .GIF with loop

endless BUT I cannot integrate it properly into

my script that sets the name of the file as

the name of the currently selected layer.

I think the problem is that with scriptlistener

I am using Save For WEB to produce GIF file with

Looping Options: forever. So it just overrides

the file name with new always the same name!

Is there any other way to set loop forever except

Save For WEB function? What should I log by scriptlistener?

Or how I can use scriptlistener's log in this my script?

PLEASE HELP!!! WOULD BE VERY GRATEFULL!!!

------- here is my script -----------

#target photoshop

main();

function main(){

if(!documents.length) return;

try{

var Path= activeDocument.path;

}catch(e){var Path = "~/desktop";}

var Name = decodeURI(app.activeDocument.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');

var layerName = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name.replace(/[:\/\\*\?\"\<\>\|]/g, "_");

var saveFile= new File(Path + "/" + Name + "-" + layerName + ".gif");

SaveForWeb(saveFile);

}

function SaveForWeb(saveFile) {

var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();

sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.COMPUSERVEGIF;

sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;

sfwOptions.interlaced = 1;

sfwOptions.optimized = true;

sfwOptions.transparency = 1;

sfwOptions.ColorReductionType = ColorReductionType.SELECTIVE;

sfwOptions.dither = Dither.NONE;

sfwOptions.ditherAmount = 80;

sfwOptions.webSnap = 0;

sfwOptions.colors = 128;

activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);

}

I just used the scriptlistener get the cod3e recorded for set a frameanimation to loop forever. Here is what I got.

Saved it as Forever.jsx and tested it and it worked.

// =======================================================

var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );

var desc19 = new ActionDescriptor();

var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );

var ref3 = new ActionReference();

var idanimationClass = stringIDToTypeID( "animationClass" );

var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );

var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );

ref3.putEnumerated( idanimationClass, idOrdn, idTrgt );

desc19.putReference( idnull, ref3 );

var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T " );

var desc20 = new ActionDescriptor();

var idanimationLoopEnum = stringIDToTypeID( "animationLoopEnum" );

var idanimationLoopType = stringIDToTypeID( "animationLoopType" );

var idanimationLoopForever = stringIDToTypeID( "animationLoopForever" );

desc20.putEnumerated( idanimationLoopEnum, idanimationLoopType, idanimationLoopForever );

var idanimationClass = stringIDToTypeID( "animationClass" );

desc19.putObject( idT, idanimationClass, desc20 );

executeAction( idsetd, desc19, DialogModes.NO );
