How to change in photoshop script color of Smart Object Layer, or Rasterized Image?

Question

I need to change color of Smart Object Layer in JS script. I found how to change TextLayer, but SmartObjects haven't "textItem" property. Need to change it like Color Overlay works in Photoshop. For example i have this hoodie:

I have been selected Compass layer right now and I wanna run my JS script. Then compass should change his color to red (or something else). This compass layer is Smart Object Layer (or Rasterized Image).

Can anyone help me with that? I spend 3 days to find how to do this. Thanks!

This will create a Color Overlay effects with a specific color (red in this example). Modify r, g and b values to the ones you need.

applyColorOverlay(
{
    r: 255,
    g: 0,
    b: 0,
})

function applyColorOverlay(color)
{
    var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    ref1.putProperty(charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), charIDToTypeID('Lefx'));
    ref1.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt'));
    desc6.putReference(charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1);
    var desc7 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc8.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID('enab'), true);
    desc8.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID('present'), true);
    desc8.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID('showInDialog'), true);
    desc8.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID('Md  '), charIDToTypeID('BlnM'), charIDToTypeID('Nrml'));
    var desc9 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc9.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Rd  '), color.r);
    desc9.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Grn '), color.g);
    desc9.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Bl  '), color.b);
    desc8.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Clr '), charIDToTypeID('RGBC'), desc9);
    desc8.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Opct'), charIDToTypeID('#Prc'), 100.000000);
    desc7.putObject(charIDToTypeID('SoFi'), charIDToTypeID('SoFi'), desc8);
    desc6.putObject(charIDToTypeID('T   '), charIDToTypeID('Lefx'), desc7);
    executeAction(charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc6, DialogModes.NO);
};
