Clearing the actions panel and loading an action set using a script.

Question

I've been trying to figure out how to do this now for two days straight, I'm still completely stuck and can't manage to do it. Scriptlistener shows nothing for the "Clear actions" and "Load actions" menu items when the function is called in both CS5 and CS3 and both JS and VBS.
Does anyone here have a solution? Any scripts?
Thank you so much.

This should help...
//get a list of all actionSets
var actionList =getActionSets();
//remove all actionSets
for(var d in actionList){
unLoadAction(actionList[d]);
//Load your new actionSet
app.load(File("/c/actions/myNewAtionset.atn"));
function getActionSets() {
cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
  var i = 1;
  var sets = []; 
  while (true) {
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putIndex(cTID("ASet"), i);
    var desc;
    var lvl = $.level;
    $.level = 0;
    try {
      desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    } catch (e) {
      break;
    } finally {
      $.level = lvl;
    if (desc.hasKey(cTID("Nm  "))) {
      var set = {};
      set.index = i;
      set.name = desc.getString(cTID("Nm  "));
      set.toString = function() { return this.name; };
      set.count = desc.getInteger(cTID("NmbC"));
      set.actions = [];
      for (var j = 1; j <= set.count; j++) {
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putIndex(cTID('Actn'), j);
        ref.putIndex(cTID('ASet'), set.index);
        var adesc = executeActionGet(ref);
        var actName = adesc.getString(cTID('Nm  '));
        set.actions.push(actName);
      sets.push(set);
    i++;
  return sets;
function unLoadAction(aSet){
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putName( charIDToTypeID( "ASet" ), decodeURI(aSet));
desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Dlt " ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
