for-looping Through All textFrames (cs4 jsx)

[Noah Rodenbeek]

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

for (var num=0; num<docRef.textFrame.length; num++){

     alert( docRef.textFrames[num] );

}

I would like to for through all of the text frames in a document to experiment with what properties return what information.  I have a simple test document with like three different text frames, and I want to collect info on each one.  This for loop doesn't seem to work though, and I can't quite wrap my head around how the textFrame and textFrames objects work.

Thanks for the assistance!

textFrames = a collection of textFrames

textFrame = a single textFrame, for example textFrames[1] refers to the second textFrame

try this

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

for (var num=0; num<docRef.textFrames.length; num++){ // you were missing an s

     alert( docRef.textFrames[num]); // returns the object itself
     alert( docRef.textFrames[num].contents ); // returns a property (contents) of the object

}

missing the s, unbelievable.  Thank you!
