Javascript to run .atn file?

[jamest68293015]

(Running PS CC 2017 on Windows 7)

I'm looking for a way to have Photoshop run an .atn file directly without having to load the .atn into the Photoshop action palette first. Currently the code I'm using:

// Perfectly Clear V3 
function step24(enabled, withDialog) { 
     if (enabled != undefined && !enabled) 
       return; 
     app.doAction(file_path[7], file_path[7]);
};

And the file_path[7] is pulling from an array I've constructed out of a CSV.

Is there a way for me to directly run an .atn file instead of loading and calling it through the PS palette?

#target photoshop;
app.bringToFront();

I´d like to use the above code from a button call in a html panel.

I did get it to work but it behaves weird. Sometimes it works and sometimes it can´t find my action files, which are in a parallel folder "../atn/

The problem seems to be 

Folder.current = new Folder ("../atn/")

It worked at first and then stopped working. I switched to 

Folder.current = $.fileName ("../atn/")

then. Same thing. Works for some hours and stops working again.

When i call an alert like

alert($.fileName);
-or-
alert(Folder.current);

 i get an integer value like "195" or it tells me the path to bridge program folder.

What the hell? 🙂

Could someone help me out here?
