Move Layers to a new comp

Hello,

I have a script that adds various text layers to an existing comp. I'd like to move those layers to a pre-comp, keeping the pre-comp in the original comp. Is this doable?

LayerCollection precompose() method
app.project.item(index).layers.precompose(layerIndicies, name, moveAllAttributes);

or you could create the comp and use
layer.copyToComp(compLocation);
