Array is not amending text name

[varDale_undefined]

I have this script, I am trying to create a generated alphabet on new text items, however I get the error that "required value is missing".

I feel it is something obvious, but I am stumped.

#target Photoshop
var abc = new Array("A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z");
  for (i < 0; abc.length; i++){
    var al = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add ();
    al.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    al.name = abc 
    al.textItem.font = "ArialMT"
    al.textItem.size = 1200
    al.textItem.contents = abc 
}

Try

  for (i < 0; i < abc.length; i++){

Sadly no joy.

Open a document 2500px by 2500px add positoin to your text layer also.

#target Photoshop

var abc = new Array("A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z");

for (i < 0; i < abc.length; i++){

    var al = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add ();

    al.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;

    al.name = abc

    al.textItem.font = "ArialMT"

    al.textItem.size = 1200

    al.textItem.position = Array(500, 1800 );

    al.textItem.contents = abc

}

Copied your code word for word to remove chance of error.

I still get the below:

Perhaps its a bug in Adobe ExtendScript.  I do not use that Just save that code  as test.jsx and run it in Photoshop however, it most likely is you have no open document you need one to use that script.  Otherwise the no document to add the text layer to.

with no open document active you will get

Running via Photoshop throws up the same error via Error dialog.

Not sure, if related, but I have also been getting this on a few scripts today:

Haha r-bin, I am so sorry. I literally thought you had the same comment as JJ and that you'd both just commented at the same time.

That indeed was the solution. Cheers.

In the Extendscript you show that line as line 6 not 7 did you add a statement?

for (i = 0; i < abc.length; i++)
