Create 'Object Style' by script

Question

Hi,
My 'Library.indl' file has the 'Box1', 'Box2'. I need to create the object style(with dummy properties) based on the Library file names.
If the library has BOX1, BOX2, I need to check my Indesign file has Object Style with the same name(BOX1, BOX2).
If object style not presented in that particular name(BOX1, BOX2) in Indesign, I have to create the dummy Object style. (The 'object style name' should match with BOX1, BOX2.)
Is this possible by Indesign script?

Hi Chinna,
When I click 'hyphenation setting' on, I have the problems on line 54 and 55.
If I select line 55(line 54 is deselect). script working fine.
If I select line 54(line 55 is deselect) script is not working, but I want to select library file from the folder path, so I need line 54 action.
Correct my script here:
var w = new Window ("dialog", "Template Checklist", undefined, {closeButton: false});
w.alignChildren = "left";
var check1  = w.add ("checkbox", undefined, "Hyphenation Settings");
var check2  = w.add ("checkbox", undefined, "Object Style creation based on Library");
var buttons = w.add ("group");
buttons.add ("button", undefined, "Ok");
var Exit = 0;
var cancel = buttons.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel")
        cancel.onClick = function()
                w.close();
                Exit = 1;
w.show ();
if(Exit ==1)
        this.exit();
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
if (check1.value == true)
    var myPara=app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles;
    for(var i=1;i<myPara.length;i++)
            if(myPara[i].hyphenation)
            //myPara[i].hyphenation=true;
            myPara[i].hyphenateWordsLongerThan=6;
            myPara[i].hyphenateAfterFirst=3;
            myPara[i].hyphenateBeforeLast=3;
            myPara[i].hyphenateLadderLimit=2;
            myPara[i].hyphenationZone="1p";
            myPara[i].hyphenateCapitalizedWords=true;
            myPara[i].hyphenateLastWord=false;
            myPara[i].hyphenateAcrossColumns=false;
    var myStyle=new Array("BK_TTL","BK_HTTL")
    for(var i=0;i<myStyle.length;i++)
            if(myDocument.paragraphStyles.item(myStyle[i]).isValid)
             myDocument.paragraphStyles.item(myStyle[i]).hyphenation = false;
if (check2.value == true)
alert("Library File is must for this process.");
//~ var library = File.openDialog ("Select the Library File", "*.indl");  ////Your library file path.
var library=new File("C:\\Users\\Jayanthi\\Desktop\\Library.indl");//Your library file path.
app.open(library);
asset = app.libraries[0].assets;
for(var i=0;i<asset.length;i++)
    try{
        myDocument.objectStyles.add({name:asset[i].name});
    catch(e){}
var ProgressBar = function(/*str*/title)
     var w = new Window('palette', ' '+title, {x:0, y:0, width:340, height:60}),
          pb = w.add('progressbar', {x:20, y:12, width:300, height:12}, 0, 100),
          st = w.add('statictext', {x:10, y:36, width:320, height:20}, '');
     st.justify = 'center';
     w.center();
     this.reset = function(msg,maxValue)
          st.text = msg;
          pb.value = 0;
          pb.maxvalue = maxValue||0;
          pb.visible = !!maxValue;
          w.show();
     this.hit = function() {++pb.value;};
     this.hide = function() {w.hide();};
     this.close = function() {w.close();};
//      SAMPLE CODE
function main()
     var pBar = new ProgressBar("Running");
     var i;
     // Routine #1
     pBar.reset("Please wait Processing ...", 100);
     for( i=0 ; i < 100; ++i, pBar.hit() )
          $.sleep(10);
     // Routine #2
     pBar.close();
main();
exit();
