Set Zero Point ruler to the selected object - script help

Question

Trying my best to setup scripts but can't figure this out - everything I try moves the object not the Zero Point reference for the ruler.
 
Is it possible to script the Zero Point to be set to Zero and the top left of a selected object.
For reference, I'll be basing everything a selected distance from this. 
 
I just can't get the ruler zero point to snap to the object.

Resetting the zeropoint seems to work. Also, I got the y point wrong in the earlier code:app.activeDocument.zeroPoint = [0,0];gb = app.selection[0].geometricBounds;app.activeDocument.zeroPoint = [gb[1], gb[0]];

Select the text frame, then do this:  app.activeDocument.zeroPoint = [0,0];gb = app.selection[0].geometricBounds;app.activeDocument.zeroPoint = [gb[1], gb[0]];
