Make a work path from selection

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to make a work path from a selection, I'm using a small script to test it out on, where I have a test file that has a selection made. I need to make it a work path (and eventually a clipping path) but I can't seem to do it

I'm working in applescript but I'm not adverse to adding in a bit of java as a variable

can someone make this work?

Cheers

                    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"

                    

                                tell current document

                                               make work path with selection

                                end tell

                              end tell

In Applescript:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014"

              tell current document

                             tell selection

                                           make work path tolerance 2 #in pixels

                             end tell

                             set workPath to path item "Work Path"

                             set name of workPath to "Path 1"

                             tell path item 1

                                           make clipping path flatness 2

                                           deselect

                             end tell

              end tell

end tell

Hi,

Try this..

// Work path Tolerance set

app.activeDocument.selection.makeWorkPath(0.5);

// Clipping path flatness set

var pathitem=app.activeDocument.pathItems.getByName ('Work Path');
pathitem.name="Path 1";
app.activeDocument.pathItems[0].makeClippingPath(0.2);
pathitem.deselect();
