Hi

  Something I do very often is duplicate a layer, and then move the duplicate right by a number of pixels equal to the size of the layer...I have worked out how to record my actions used for creating the new layer, but can't figure out how to set up the move correctly in a script, since the size varies from project to project.  And, infact, from run to run of my little action.  (I create a 2nd layer, move it, flatten, and then repeat so the next time the size is approx 2x as long as the first time) 

I've seen a few videos on "variables" but didn't see one that I could assign to the width of my selection, but I may well have missed something in my newbieness.

Any advice appreciated. =]
