inline anchor in a textFrame (jsx)

[58234121]

I'm trying to add a small circle as an inline object, but something's off. I suspect its my insertion point, but I'm not sure.  Can anyone help?

var myPage = app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].activePage;
var bounds = {geometricBounds:[10,10,20,20]};
var content = " Lorem Ipsum";

var myTextFrame = createTextFrame(bounds,content);
var insertPoint = myTextFrame.parentStory.insertionPoints[0]; //I think the problem may be here
var circle = insertPoint.ovals.add({geometricBounds:[55, 10, 55.5, 10.5]}); 

function createTextFrame(myTextFrameBounds, myTextFrameContents){
    var myFrame = myPage.textFrames.add(myTextFrameBounds);
    myFrame.contents = myTextFrameContents;
}

What goes in the circle? A picture? Why must it be scripted?

Its beyond infuriating that this reply box is not multiline ... Anyway. It's just a circle with a tint. It is part of a much larger script that builds out a timeline, from data. The circles are the "key" that goes in the textFrame above the timeline bar.

The problme is that your "createTextFrame" function does not actually return a textframe.
Add a "return myFrame;" at the end of it and you should be ready to go.
