Convert photoshop action to applescript?

Super! I'll check it out! Thanks!

Andrew,
In your first post you mention that you did find a script to convert actions to javascript. Could you please share that method of convertion since I'm looking for a way to convert actions to a Photoshop javascript?

Thanks,
Mathias

xBytor,
Thanks for writing back. I kinda figured that was the case. Your script has proved most helpful. But I was holding out hope there'd be an equivalent script to go to AppleScript. I was able to get most of my bigger actions working today with a little cut and paste and edit here and there.

Carl,
While I appreciate your feed back. the spirit of the post was to have a method of exporting the pre existing actions in a quick and easy fashion. I surmise that eventually i'll write them from scratch, but sometimes, as i'm sure you know, in a production environment free time is a bit of a joke.

Write the AppleScripts from scratch.

Carl.

At the core of an Action is series of executeAction invocations that correspond
to the steps of the Action. This is what the ScriptingListener output
essentially is, as described in the Action Manager section of the PSCS3
Scripting Guide.

There is no Action Manager API for AS. Your only option in AS is to call JS
code, as is described in the Scripting Guide. You can either use the code
generated by the ScriptingListener plugin, or you can use my Action->JavaScript
translation script (which you've already found). To the best of my knowledge,
there are no other solutions if you program in AS.
