If you mean move the layer's contents then you use artLayer.translate().

If you mean move the layer in the layer stack so it is above or below where it is now you use artLayer.move()

You can get the current position of a layer with the layer.bounds property.

Code: Select all
moveTo = function(x, y) {
var l = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
var b = l.bounds;
var x1 = b[0].as("px");
var y1 = b[1].as("px");
var x2 = b[2].as("px");
var y2 = b[3].as("px");
var xc = x1 + (x2-x1)/2;
var yc = y1 + (y2-y1)/2;
l.translate(x-xc, y-yc);
};

moveTo(new UnitValue(1000, "px"), new UnitValue(1000, "px"));
