TextFrameItem nextFrame throws

Question

Hey guys,I've been going through the documentation on using (docs) TextFrameItem.nextFrame From the docs as well:- When you create a text frame, you also create a Story object. - However, threading text frames combines the frames into a single story object. - To thread frames, use the nextFrame or previousFrame property. When I try to access this property on a TextFrame that I have I get the following error: The requested property is not available for this type of text frame.  Has anyone else encoutered this error? My guess is that this means that there is no nextFrame to follow so I can just ignore it

Try this link, it seems to be uploaded for 30 days linkIt is point text, so if you can add the check if(_textFrameItem.kind != TextType.POINTTEXT){// check for nextFrame or previousFrame}

Hi, I am getting the nextFrame for every textFrame but previousFrame is null if textrame is not threaded. Try folloing if that helps you in your workflow.var _textFrameItem = app.selection[0];if (_textFrameItem.nextFrame != null) {    var _nextFrame = _textFrameItem.nextFrame;    alert(_nextFrame.contents)}if (_textFrameItem.previousFrame != null) {    var _previousFrame = _textFrameItem.previousFrame;    alert(_previousFrame.contents)}
