Using AppleScript (and Photoshop CS) I am trying to get this string:

"set.this.that.test.rgb.layername"

from the photoshop layers pallet where this structure exists:

set
  this
    that
      test
        rgb
          layername <---- where this is the selected layer

I tried using the following line but I keep getting an error stating that AppleScript cannot convert {} into a string (leading me to believe that there are no elements in the list).

	set LayerList to get linked layers of current layer of current document
	display dialog LayerList

I am new to Applescript and new to Photoshop scripting and would appreciate any help.

Ben
