Select Parent Text Frames

[BEGINNER_X]

Hi,

Is it possible in illustrator to select the parent text frames?

i.e.,

app.activeDocument.selection.parent.selected = true;

Input:

Output:

In Indesign, we use the below code:

app.select(app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0])

Thanks

Here is a sample function I made:

function getTXF (){

  var tg = app.selection;

  app.executeMenuCommand("deselectall");

  var n=0;

  for (var i=0;i<tg.parent.textFrames.length;i++){

  n += tg.parent.textFrames.characters.length;

  if (n>tg.characterOffset) break;

  }

  tg.parent.textFrames.selected = true;

  }
