Simple InDesign Script to create new layers

[Callum P]

Hi all,

I'm trying to learn InDesign JavaScripting and I want to run a script in each active document to add two new layers to the bottom of the document.

I've surfed the internet but I can't find anything that makes sense to me, any help would be much appreciated.

This is what I have so far, this is saved as a .js file in my scripts folder;

var myDoc = app.activeDocument.Layer.add({name:"EPub"});
app.activeDocument.Layer.add({name:"TOC"});

It runs and the following error appears, what am I doing wrong?

app.activeDocument.layers.add({name:"EPub"});
app.activeDocument.layers.add({name:"TOC"});

To move the layers to the bottom, use the move command, like so:

main();

function main() {
	var doc = app.activeDocument;
	var layerEPub = doc.layers.add({name:"EPub"});
	layerEPub.move(LocationOptions.AT_END);
	var layerTOC = doc.layers.add({name:"TOC"});
	layerTOC.move(LocationOptions.AT_END);
}
