Is it possible to start timeline playback from a script?

I'm looking for a way to incorporate the timeline's "play command" (space when using keyboard shortcuts) in my script.

If it is possible to do so I'm able to create a rudimentary flicking/flipping function to aid users in their animation process.

(The scriptListener plugin wont leave any traces btw)

Any help or advice is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

It seems a work-around might be possible but I also do not know a direct approach for this.

One work around could be to use a separate jsx and simulate a spacebar key-press.

#target photoshop

app.bringToFront();

app.system( 'osascript -e \'tell application "System Events" to key code 49\'' );

But this is not what I want... I'm looking for a cleaner method.

Does that actually work for you?
