Hi. I'm completely new to scripting and I would appreciate some help. I took a little look at applescript but I can't figure some things out.

I've taken a short video, converted the frames to PS layers (all in the same document), and trimmed the whole thing to just the center vertical line 1 pixel wide. I want to now take all of those layers and line them up in order. layer 1 would be at (1,0), layer 2 at (2,0), etc.

This is the thing that I made. I think I figured out the gist of it, but I'm getting mixed up in the syntax somewhere. all I'm getting is a "file/folder expected" error.

repeat with layernum from 1 to 100
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
activate
tell document "scripttry.psd"
tell layer layernum
translate layer layernum of document "scripttry.psd" delta x pixels layernum
end tell
end tell
end tell
end repeat

where am I going wrong?
