How to import a PNG file as a layer into my current document using script

[#1]

Hello all,

I am trying to make a script that imports a PNG file (that is in the same directory as the script I am running) into photoshop, but instead of opening it as its own document I want to be added as a layer to the document I am currently on so that I can manipulate its size and position in the same script.

I have seen the .add() method but don't know if that is correct or how to use it... any help is appreciated!

Thank y'all.

There is a function for placing as a Smart Object (and transforming at the same time) in the Script in this thread:
