I am new to photoshop scripting.
I want to load an image image (from my hard disk) into the active document as a new layer with positioning. How can this be done? Can somebody please share the code?
Thanks

You can open Photoshop File Dialog for searching your image and adding that into a layer
file = app.openDialog();//opens dialog,choose one image
if(file[0]){ //if you have chosen an image
app.load(file[0]); //load it into documents
backFile= app.activeDocument; //prepare your image layer as active document
backFile.resizeImage(width,height); //resize image into given size i.e 640x480
backFile.selection.selectAll();
backFile.selection.copy(); //copy image into clipboard
backFile.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); //close image without saving changes
doc.paste(); //paste selection into your document
doc.layers[0].name = "BackgroundImage"; //set your layer's name
}
There is a good example of making a calendar with photoshop javascript extension (.jsx).
