Extendscript with Photoshop: Importing an image - photoshop

Question

I'm trying to select some image files via a prompt, then add those files to the active document. Here's what I have so far:
#target photoshop
doc = app.activeDocument;
// choose image files
var files = File.openDialog(undefined,undefined,true);
// for each image, add to new layer and insert into doc
for (var file in files) {
var layer = doc.artLayers.add();
layer.image = file; // this doesn't work.
}

Answer 1

What's layer.image? ArtLayer doesn't have this property. Maybe placing will work better in your case:
doc = app.activeDocument;
// choose image files
var files = File.openDialog(undefined, undefined, true);
// for each image, add to new layer and insert into doc
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
{
var layer = placeImage(files[i]);
}
function placeImage(imageFile)
{
var desc554 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc554.putPath(cTID('null'), imageFile);
desc554.putEnumerated(cTID('FTcs'), cTID('QCSt'), cTID('Qcsa'));
var desc555 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc555.putUnitDouble(cTID('Hrzn'), cTID('#Pxl'), 0.000000);
desc555.putUnitDouble(cTID('Vrtc'), cTID('#Pxl'), 0.000000);
desc554.putObject(cTID('Ofst'), cTID('Ofst'), desc555);
executeAction(cTID('Plc '), desc554, DialogModes.NO);
return activeDocument.activeLayer
};
function cTID(s)
{
return app.charIDToTypeID(s);
};
function sTID(s)
{
return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
Also Photoshop doesn't like when for...in loops are used on Array (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't: in case of File object it doesn't work)
