I just tried the first line of your code in InDesign CC, it does not work.

var g=app.documents.stories.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem;

g;

Do you really want all of the text frames for all stories for all open documents?

g=app.documents;

returns a collection

g=app.documents.everyItem();

returns a method

Try the following in InDesign CC and CS5:

var g=app.documents.everyItem().stories.everyItem().textContainers;

g.length;

textContainers returns an array of all text frames within a story thread. Not too sure when it was introduced (5 or 5.5?).
