Action API - create import action - missing variable name

I'm trying to execute an import action in javascript using the Action and ActionScript API.   

When I execute the actions.registered, I can see that import is a registered action, however when I call actions.create("import"), I get an error regarding a missing variable name.

According to the API documentation, actions.create only accepts a single argument of the action name.   From the error, it appears that I need to be sending more arguments than just the name, however what that might be and the format of it does not seem to be documented.

Any thoughts on this?



My code is simply:

function processCommand(){
try{

for (a in actions.registered) {
logger.log(a + " - " + actions.registered[a]);
}

var import = actions.create("import"); //this line is crashing.


}catch(err){logger.log("ERROR in importZipFile : " + err);}
}

processCommand();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The error I am receiving is this:

Hello,

try to use a different variable name than 'import'.
'import' maybe/is a reserved word, see http://javascript.about.com/library/blreserved.htm
