Check if a set of actions has already been loaded?

Good evening! Is there a script that checks if a set of actions "myActions.atn" has already been loaded?
I use an extension in Photoshop that has a script that loads an action set whenever I restart Photoshop or the extension, but it creates a stack with the same set of actions in the action palette and an annoying shortcut conflict message appears with the menu shortcuts. Thanks for the help.

function loadActions () {
	var actionFile =new File("~/desktop/myAction.atn");
    if(actionFile.exists){app.load(actionFile)}
};

loadActions ();

The filename is not always the same as the Action Set name.
But you can take this code as a basis.
 
var my_set_name = "myActions";
var found = false;

for (var i = 1;;i++)
    {
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putIndex(stringIDToTypeID("actionSet"), i );

    var set_name = null;

    try { set_name = executeActionGet(r).getString(stringIDToTypeID("name")); } catch (e) { break; }

    if (set_name == my_set_name) { found = true; break; } 
    }

if (found) alert(my_set_name + " alread

if (found) alert(my_set_name + " already loaded");
else alert(my_set_name + " was not load");
