You can do it by targeting the command at the text frames on a particular layer. It's not foolproof if stories are threaded between layers, but fine in most cases you're likely to want to do it in.

tryed this but it doesn't work:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"

tell page1 of active document

-- setto le preferenze di ricerca

set find text preferences to nothing

set change text preferences to nothing

-- setto le preferenze di sostituzione

set find what of find text preferences to "ciccio"

set change to of change text preferences to "sup"

-- eseguo ricerca

tell active document

set trovati to change text to layer1 of active document

end tell

end tell

end tell

You probably need something like this:

change text (every item of all page items whose class is text frame and item layer is layer 1)
