Select layer in Illustrator CS4 js

Question

Hi, I need to reselect original layer in the end of the script, and I can't find how. Here what I have so far:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myOriginalLayerNAME = myDoc.activeLayer.name;
// body of the script...
myDoc.activeLayer = myDoc.layers.item(myOriginalLayerNAME);
The last line fails.
The help is highly appreciated.

Hi Yulia,
try this:
myDoc.activeLayer = myDoc.layers.getByName(myOriginalLayerNAME);
if it's a layer that you want catch or
myDoc.activeLayer = myDoc.pageItems.getByName(myOriginalLayerNAME);
if it's an item that you want catch
app.activeDocument.pageItems.getByName("tutu").selected=true; // catch "tutu" sub-layer is selecting now
See you soon, art.chrome
