Photoshop Script — Trying to Replace an image from project root folder

i have totally re-editied My communication and spelling skills are not very good so sorry if you find it hard.

to make it easier to read i am going to shorten and sweeten my post

1. i have a psd file with groups and layers set as needed

2. i then created a script to chnage the text accordingly to json inout from a json file code and file example below.

   #include json2.js
   //////// ^^^^ loading JSON2 ///////////
   var obj = loadJson('text.json');
   //////// ^^^^ Variable for JSON Text Data  ///////////
   var titleGroup = app.activeDocument.layerSets.getByName('text');
   var titleLayer = titleGroup.layers[0];
   var ordinatesLayer = titleGroup.layers[1];
   titleLayer.textItem.contents = obj.title;
   ordinatesLayer.textItem.contents = obj.ord;
   ////// ^^^ Locate And change Text using JSON Data ///////////
   var theLayer = app.activeDocument.layerSets.getByName('image');
   var changeLayer = theLayer.layers[0]
   //////// ^^^ var set need to create future functions to grab image location from the json data and replace image  ///////////
   
   
   
   saveJpeg(obj.title + 'Finished');
   
   //////// ^^^ Script Action Using Functions Below to Save Altered results ///////////
   
   ////////  Functions BELOW!!! /////////
   function loadJson(relPath) {
     var script = new File($.fileName);
     var jsonFile = new File(script.path + '/' + relPath);
     jsonFile.open('r');
     var str = jsonFile.read();
     jsonFile.close();
     return JSON.parse(str);
   }
   
   ////// ^^^ load and parse data to set vairiables for use //////
   
   function saveJpeg(name) {
     var doc = app.activeDocument;
     var file = new File(doc.path + '/' + name + '.jpg');
     var opts = new JPEGSaveOptions();
     opts.quality = 10;
     doc.saveAs(file, opts, true);
   }
   
   ////// ^^^ save Finished Results /////
   //alert('Your Script has done!!!');
   

JSON Data example.

{“title” : “LONDON”, “ord” : “51.5074° N, 0.1278° W”}

3. i then found a piece of code and altered it to my needs (well nearly) the code snippet allows a dialog to open and me to selct the file needed

the problem is i need it to select the image using the title name from the json data to the grab say example LONDON.PNG and then replace it all without a dialog and selection (silent and auto)

below is my uodated code and screenshot of my projects root folder

    #include json2.js
    //////// ^^^^ loading JSON2 ///////////
    var obj = loadJson('text.json');
    //////// ^^^^ Variable for JSON Text Data  ///////////
    var titleGroup = app.activeDocument.layerSets.getByName('text');
    var titleLayer = titleGroup.layers[0];
    var ordinatesLayer = titleGroup.layers[1];
    titleLayer.textItem.contents = obj.title;
    ordinatesLayer.textItem.contents = obj.ord;
    ////// ^^^ Locate And change Text using JSON Data ///////////
    var theLayer = app.activeDocument.layerSets.getByName('image');
    var changeLayer = theLayer.layers[0]
    var replacementFile = new File(obj.title + "png");
    //////// ^^^ var set need to create future functions to grab image location from the json data and replace image  ///////////



    
    changeLayer = replaceContents(replacementFile);
    saveJpeg(obj.title + 'Finished');
