Script for InDesign CS6 - create multiple, prenamed layers

Question

I created a script for Illustrator CS6, in ExtendScript Toolkit, that will create multiple, prenamed layers...see below...
//Apply to myDoc the active document
var layerName = LayerOrderType;
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//define first character and how many layers do you need
var layerName
var numberOfLayers=0;
//Create the layers
for(var i=0; i<=numberOfLayers; i++)
{ var layerName = ":: GRADIENT";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
{ var layerName = ":: STRIPES";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
{ var layerName = ":: LEGAL";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
{ var layerName = ":: BLK BAR";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
{ var layerName = ":: FLAME";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
{ var layerName = ":: LOGO/TYPE";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
{ var layerName = ":: TRIM,ETC";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
{ var layerName = ":: LOEC INFO";  var myLayer = myDoc.layers.add(); myLayer.name = layerName;  }
// Moves the bottom layer to become the topmost layer
if (documents.length > 0) {
countOfLayers = activeDocument.layers.length;
if (countOfLayers > 1) {
bottomLayer = activeDocument.layers[countOfLayers-1];
bottomLayer.zOrder(ZOrderMethod.BRINGTOFRONT);
else {
alert("The active document only has only 1 layer")
I tried to use this exact code to replicate the same scenario in InDesign but it doesn't work.
Can anybody help me out!?
Thanks in advance

Marijan Tompa's scripts are very nice and useful, however, for this simple task you can try create your own wiht this code:
app.activeDocument.layers.add ({name: "GRADIENT", layerColor: UIColors.red});
app.activeDocument.layers.add ({name: "STRIPES", layerColor: UIColors.lightBlue});
app.activeDocument.layers.add ({name: "LEGAL", layerColor: UIColors.gray});
//merge existing document layer to bottom layer (in this case original layer will be merged to 'GRADIENT')
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
var myLayerA = myDocument.layers.item(2);
          var myLayerB = myDocument.layers.item(3);
          myLayerA.merge(myLayerB);
alert("Layers created!");
assume, your document has one layer.
Script creates three new layers, they appear in Scripts palette in this order:
LEGAL
STRIPES
GRADIENT
and merges 'old' layer to bottom layer of newly created set (GRADIENT).
sure, you can add as much layers as you need, just don't forget modify LayerA and LayerB numbers accordingly.
Or disable second part of the script at all, if you don't want anything to be merged.
