Hi, I rewrite this one,

var tgt = app.activeDocument.rectangles;

for (i=0;i<tgt.length;i++){

    myCaption = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();

    myCaption.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification =

        VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN

    myCaption.contents = tgt.graphics[0].itemLink.name

    myCaption.paragraphs[0].justification =

        Justification.CENTER_ALIGN;

    bnds = tgt.visibleBounds;

    myCaption.visibleBounds =

        [bnds[0]-6, bnds[1], bnds[0]-1,bnds[3]];

    }

How about it?

Hi, Try this one.

var slct = app.activeDocument.selection[0];

var sourceFolder = "/"; //set images path

var fNm ="";

if (slct=="[object TextFrame]") {

    fNm = sourceFolder + slct.contents;

    var f = new File (fNm);

    if(f.exists){

        slct.contents = "";

        slct.place(f);

        slct.fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);

        slct.fit(FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT);

        }

    }

You can choose images path to set "sourceFolder" variable. But TextFrames contents contain full-path of Image files, remove sourceFolder variable and set fNm like below:

fNm = slct.contents;
