prompt for layer name

var lyrname = prompt("please give layer name"); lyrname.name = newname; 

 

i'm prompting layer name want write layer name above code doesn't work.  tried adding argument lyrname.name prompt no progress ?

do want rename existing layer or add layer. if add layer kind of layer want add. here how add new layer , name using prompt or rename layer.

 

var lyrname = prompt("please give layer name"); 

var newlayer = activedocument.artlayers.add(); // create new artlayer object

newlayer.name = lyrname; // name later reference

 

or rename existing activelayer

 

activedocument.activelayer.name= lyrname; // rename layer
