Run action on my layers with jsx script

[MarkMarzeotti]

Hello,

=> https://prnt.sc/10neg6m

=> https://prnt.sc/10neeio

"Edit_Recto" is my action that double click on the layers "RECTO_EDIT" that works good by running it manually, but I want to run it with JSX Script.

app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.artLayers.getByName("RECTO_EDIT");
app.doAction("?", "?");

I have tested many things :
=> app.doAction("RECTO_EDIT", "Edit_Recto");
=> app.doAction("Edit_Recto", "RECTO_EDIT");
=> app.doAction("Action", "Edit_Recto");

but is not working..
if someone can help to fix this, would be amazing :)

Thanks you!

The first parameter is  the name of the action, and the second is the set the action is saved in—reverse the parameters in your 3rd version:

var act = "Edit_Recto"
var actset = "Action"
    
app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.artLayers.getByName("RECTO_EDIT");
app.doAction(act, actset);

Try this: put in the action set's name and the name of the action in the command to run the function.

playAction ('my action set', 'my action name')

function playAction(actionSet, actionName){
var idPly = charIDToTypeID( "Ply " );
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref1 = new ActionReference();
        var idActn = charIDToTypeID( "Actn" );
        ref1.putName( idActn, actionSet );
        var idASet = charIDToTypeID( "ASet" );
        ref1.putName( idASet, actionName );
    desc2.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
executeAction( idPly, desc2, DialogModes.NO );
}
