Here is an example of creating a list of all the action sets/names to the desktop.
#target photoshop
var actionList = getActionSets();
var outFile = File("~/desktop/Action List.txt");
outFile.open("w");
for(var a in actionList){
   outFile.writeln("Action Set " + actionList[a]);
   var aList = getActions(actionList[a]);
   for(var z in aList) {
      outFile.writeln(aList[z]);
outFile.close();
outFile.execute();
function getActionSets() {
cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(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;    // all done
    } 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 getActions(aset) {
cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
  var i = 1;
  var names = [];
  if (!aset) {
    throw "Action set must be specified";
  while (true) {
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putIndex(cTID("ASet"), i);
    var desc;
    try {
      desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    } catch (e) {
      break;    // all done
    if (desc.hasKey(cTID("Nm  "))) {
      var name = desc.getString(cTID("Nm  "));
      if (name == aset) {
        var count = desc.getInteger(cTID("NmbC"));
        var names = [];
        for (var j = 1; j <= count; j++) {
          var ref = new ActionReference();
          ref.putIndex(cTID('Actn'), j);
          ref.putIndex(cTID('ASet'), i);
          var adesc = executeActionGet(ref);
          var actName = adesc.getString(cTID('Nm  '));
          names.push(actName);
        break;
    i++;
  return names;
