Is there a simple command to deselect all layers in the currrent document via javascript? I'm running a script which is getting fouled up if there is a layer selected in the document.

This will de-select all layers Mark...

function deselectLayers() { 
    var desc01 = new ActionDescriptor(); 
        var ref01 = new ActionReference(); 
        ref01.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') ); 
    desc01.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref01 ); 
    executeAction( stringIDToTypeID('selectNoLayers'), desc01, DialogModes.NO ); 
};
