Script for place item in Illustrator?

[matthews63743827]

I am trying to write a script for Illustrator that takes an image from a specific location on my computer and place it on my artboard.  This script should be pretty simple, but I can't seem to find an example of it anywhere?

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

If the image has always the same name, you could record an Action.

I found the answer to this:

if ( app.documents.length > 0) {

    doc = app.activeDocument;

var placedItem = doc.placedItems.add();

placedItem.file = new File("image.jpg");

}
