Delete graphic in InDesign CS5 js

[Yuliaart]

After placing all the corner logos where I need them, occasionally I need to delete original logo. It lets me to delete the graphic, but not the frame:

myLogo.remove();

myCornerFrame.remove();

The first line works and the second one doesn't.

Thank  you for your help.

Are you sure myCornerFrame is a valid reference?

Is it locked?

It's name of the variable for the rectangle:

var myCornerFrame = myDoc.pages[0].rectangles.add (myDoc.layers.item ("Die"));

and I need to delete that rectangle, preferably together with the graphic in it, so I don't need to delete the graphic separately.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Yulia,

This is working for me.

check it out

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myCornerFrame = myDoc.pages[0].rectangles.add (myDoc.layers.item ("Die"));
alert ("deleting.........");
myCornerFrame.remove();

Maybe it's because there is or was a graphic in it, it doesn't let me to delete it?

Thank you.

It's working for me also. Check your reference, maybe it's lost somewhere.

Yes, you are right, it lost its reference. I used graphic's parent instead and it worked:

myLinkArray[0].parent.remove();

Thank you.
