[Script] Adjust Hue/Saturation

I've got an image that has its color changed by a clipped mask above it. I am trying to build a script to automate this task, setting different values for the hue, saturation and lightness.

I've managed to create the following script, which creates a Hue/Saturation layer with "Colorize" checkbox enabled, however, I don't know how to initialize the hue, saturation and lightness values.

/////////////

var idMk = charIDToTypeID( "Mk  " );

    var desc43 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );

        var ref8 = new ActionReference();

        var idAdjL = charIDToTypeID( "AdjL" );

        ref8.putClass( idAdjL );

    desc43.putReference( idnull, ref8 );

    var idUsng = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );

        var desc44 = new ActionDescriptor();

        var idType = charIDToTypeID( "Type" );

            var desc45 = new ActionDescriptor();

            var idpresetKind = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKind" );

            var idpresetKindType = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKindType" );

            var idpresetKindDefault = stringIDToTypeID( "presetKindDefault" );

            desc45.putEnumerated( idpresetKind, idpresetKindType, idpresetKindDefault );

           var idClrz = charIDToTypeID( "Clrz" );

            desc45.putBoolean( idClrz, true );

        var idHStr = charIDToTypeID( "HStr" );

        desc44.putObject( idType, idHStr, desc45 );

    var idAdjL = charIDToTypeID( "AdjL" );

    desc43.putObject( idUsng, idAdjL, desc44 );

executeAction( idMk, desc43, DialogModes.NO );

/////////////

Does anyone know how can I set those values? Thanks in advance.

    This is very usefl. Sorry to post on an old post but I can' find the answer anywhere else.

    What if I don't want to create the adjustmnent layer, but only edit its parameters?

    Because I have it within a for loop and I don't need it to be re-created ecery time.

    @RamonMazinga – how did the code that I posted work for you?


    I don't know about Ramon, but it worked great for me.
