Embed linked image by javascript

Question

Hey guys im getting an error for using the action script listener for embed linked image.

Here's the error:

and here's the code I used:

EmbedImg();

function EmbedImg()

{

var idplacedLayerConvertToEmbedded = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerConvertToEmbedded" );

executeAction( idplacedLayerConvertToEmbedded, undefined, DialogModes.NO );

}

I tried to catch and ignore the error, but it only works on the first linked image. I have the latest version of photoshop.

try

{

EmbedImg();

} catch (ignored) {}

Before calling this function, you must make active or select (one or more) layers.

If you need to convert all layers of a document, then instead of selecting them in a loop, easier to do this:

var idplacedLayerEmbedAll = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerEmbedAll" );
executeAction( idplacedLayerEmbedAll, undefined, DialogModes.NO );

My suggestion is very close to the one supplied by Dmitry:  app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerConvertToEmbedded'));  or app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID('placedLayerEmbedAll'));
