Smartobjet placement via Script

Question

Hello everyone,I am desperate and need help, I want to place a smart object via script, but this should not be adapted to the workspace but always keep the original size.If I load the smart object into a workspace with a width of 40cm but my image is 60cm wide, the image is scaled to the 40cm width when it is placed and the smart object is set to 100%.I am looking for a way to place the image so that it retains the print size and is rather cut off or partially outside the workspace.function placeImage(imageFile) {
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc.putPath(cTID('null'), imageFile);
    desc.putEnumerated(cTID('FTcs'), cTID('QCSt'), cTID('Qcsa'));
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc2.putUnitDouble(cTID('Hrzn'), cTID('#Pxl'), 0.000000);
    desc2.putUnitDouble(cTID('Vrtc'), cTID('#Pxl'), 0.000000);
    desc.putObject(cTID('Ofst'), cTID('Ofst'), desc2);
    desc.putBoolean(sTID('autoSelectLayer'), false);
    executeAction(cTID('Plc '), desc, DialogModes.NO);
    return activeDocument.activeLayer;
}

function cTID(s) {
    return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
}

function sTID(s) {
    return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
} many thanks in advance&#128591;

I thought that the screenshot would clear things up, but it didn't! :]

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('freeTransform'));

Or perhaps:

var s2t = function (s) {
	return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
var descriptor2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var reference = new ActionReference();
reference.putEnumerated( s2t( "layer" ), s2t( "ordinal" ), s2t( "targetEnum" ));
descriptor.putReference( s2t( "null" ), reference );
descriptor.putEnumerated( s2t( "freeTransformCenterState" ), s2t( "quadCenterState" ), s2t( "QCSAverage" ));
descriptor2.putUnitDouble( s2t( "horizontal" ), s2t( "pixelsUnit" ), 0.000000 );
descriptor2.putUnitDouble( s2t( "vertical" ), s2t( "pixelsUnit" ), 0.000000 );
descriptor.putObject( s2t( "offset" ), s2t( "offset" ), descriptor2 );
descriptor.putUnitDouble( s2t( "width" ), s2t( "percentUnit" ), 200.000000 );
descriptor.putUnitDouble( s2t( "height" ), s2t( "percentUnit" ), 200.000000 );
descriptor.putEnumerated( s2t( "interfaceIconFrameDimmed" ), s2t( "interpolationType" ), s2t( "bicubicSmoother" ));
executeAction( s2t( "transform" ), descriptor, DialogModes.NO );

You would change the width and height from 200% as required or make the code interactive by changing DialogModes.NO to DialogModes.ALL
