Is it possible to run an action with a script using cs6 javascript

[djbgraphicdesign]

In the pdf for the scripting guide it says :

"A script can execute an action, but actions cannot execute scripts."

I am having trouble finding out how to do that, and I know a way to have an action execute a script so that part is false haha. But if anyone knows how to have a script execute an action it would be very helpful to me. Thanks in advance!

Look at the doScript call which will play an action from a defined Action set. Available for Apple, Visual Basic and since CS6, ExtendScript.

as Larry said, if you have CS6 or newer you can use javascript

app.doScript ('actionName', 'actionSetName');
