    alert(getActiveDocumentIndex())  // it  gives the index number

     

    function getActiveDocumentIndex(){

         var ref = new ActionReference();

         ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );

         return desc = executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('itemIndex'))-1;

    }
