Calling an object by name

I tried to rename a text object like "text1" in layers palette,

save document,

and then I try to execute the script:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var textFrame = myDoc['text1'];

textFrame.contents = "111111111";

I get an error

How to fix it?

Hi andyf65867865,

untestet, but you can try

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = myDoc.pageItems.getByName('text1');
textFrame.contents = "111111111";

Have fun
