myText.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage is undefined?

[Jeremy bowmangraphics]

Is it me, or does myText.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage no longer refer to the text frame containing myText?

Hi @Jeremy bowmangraphics, it seems to be working as normal for me (Indesign 20.1, MacOS 15.3.1). Can you set up a bare bones demo document and script that shows the problem?

AHA! Thanks very much! — In the course of preparing a bare bones demo document + script, I realized my elementary scripting error! Thanks again!

Yep, done that many times! Whenever I think I've found a bug, I immediately set about creating that bare bones version that I can post here and everyone can test. Usually in the process I realize what's really going on. Haha!

Won't work if text is overset.
