I have selected some text, tables, and images, and I want to apply object styles(exapmle name:"AA") to the images.
How do I capture these images?
Sometimes they are imported from Word without links. Other times, they may be linked.

This is the original code for capturing the table:

       if (app.selection != null) {
            for (var f = 0; f < app.selection.length; f++) {
                var obj = app.selection[f];
                var t = obj.texts[0].tables;
. . . 

}

//a selection’s graphics as an array
var sg = app.selection[0].allGraphics
alert("There are " + sg.length + " graphics in the selection")
if (sg != null) {
    for (var f = 0; f < sg.length; f++) {
        sg[f].appliedObjectStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.itemByName("AA");
    }
}
