Randomize parameter strings in an action

What I want to achieve is to randomize selection between 'Smooth', 'Chisel Hard' and 'Chisel Soft' in Bevel & Emboss under 'Structure' section:

desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('bvlT'), cTID('bvlT'), cTID('SfBL'));

So, I guess cTID('SfBL') is to be randomized?

How can I achieve this with an example if possible?

The code:

function functionExample() {

  // Set

  function step1(enabled, withDialog) {

    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)

      return;

    var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);

    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();

    var ref1 = new ActionReference();

    ref1.putProperty(cTID('Prpr'), cTID('Lefx'));

    ref1.putEnumerated(cTID('Lyr '), cTID('Ordn'), cTID('Trgt'));

    desc1.putReference(cTID('null'), ref1);

    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();

    desc2.putUnitDouble(cTID('Scl '), cTID('#Prc'), 416.666666666667);

    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();

    desc3.putBoolean(cTID('enab'), true);

    desc3.putBoolean(sTID("present"), true);

    desc3.putBoolean(sTID("showInDialog"), true);

    desc3.putEnumerated(cTID('Md  '), cTID('BlnM'), cTID('Mltp'));

    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();

    desc4.putDouble(cTID('Rd  '), 0);

    desc4.putDouble(cTID('Grn '), 0);

    desc4.putDouble(cTID('Bl  '), 0);

    desc3.putObject(cTID('Clr '), sTID("RGBColor"), desc4);

    desc3.putUnitDouble(cTID('Opct'), cTID('#Prc'), 17);

    desc3.putBoolean(cTID('uglg'), false);

    desc3.putUnitDouble(cTID('lagl'), cTID('#Ang'), 90);

    desc3.putUnitDouble(cTID('Dstn'), cTID('#Pxl'), 1);

    desc3.putUnitDouble(cTID('Ckmt'), cTID('#Pxl'), 0);

    desc3.putUnitDouble(cTID('blur'), cTID('#Pxl'), 0);

    desc3.putUnitDouble(cTID('Nose'), cTID('#Prc'), 0);

    desc3.putBoolean(cTID('AntA'), false);

    var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();

    desc5.putString(cTID('Nm  '), "Linear");

    desc3.putObject(cTID('TrnS'), cTID('ShpC'), desc5);

    desc6.putBoolean(sTID("showInDialog"), true);

    desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('hglM'), cTID('BlnM'), cTID('Lmns'));

    desc7.putDouble(cTID('Rd  '), 247.000000476837);

    desc7.putDouble(cTID('Grn '), 247.000000476837);

    desc7.putDouble(cTID('Bl  '), 247.000000476837);

    desc6.putObject(cTID('hglC'), sTID("RGBColor"), desc7);

    desc6.putUnitDouble(cTID('hglO'), cTID('#Prc'), 71);

    desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('sdwM'), cTID('BlnM'), cTID('Drkn'));

    var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();

    desc8.putDouble(cTID('Rd  '), 0);

    desc8.putDouble(cTID('Grn '), 0);

    desc6.putObject(cTID('sdwC'), sTID("RGBColor"), desc8);

    desc6.putUnitDouble(cTID('sdwO'), cTID('#Prc'), 26);

    desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('bvlT'), cTID('bvlT'), cTID('SfBL')); // this is the line to be randomized

    desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('bvlS'), cTID('BESl'), cTID('InrB'));

    desc6.putBoolean(cTID('uglg'), false);

    desc6.putUnitDouble(cTID('lagl'), cTID('#Ang'), 90);

    desc6.putUnitDouble(cTID('Lald'), cTID('#Ang'), 30);

    desc6.putUnitDouble(cTID('srgR'), cTID('#Prc'), Math.floor((Math.random() * 1000) + 50));

    desc6.putUnitDouble(cTID('blur'), cTID('#Pxl'), 1);

    desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('bvlD'), cTID('BESs'), cTID('In  '));

Basically just put in a switch statement where it calls for that parameter. Then add a variable that gets assigned by a random number, The result is then used in the switch. It looks like two are the same, so something like this inserted in the AM code.

var ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*2);

switch (ranNum){

    case 0:

        desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('bvlT');

        break;

    case 1:

        desc6.putEnumerated(cTID('SfBL')

        break;

    }

Does it mean I have to put the variable and switch inside the function in the example I provided?

You need to put at least the switch. The random statement, you can put outside or inside.
