trying to place images in frames fails to iterate

[davidn5918184]

I have a single frame per page and I'm trying to place a folder of images 1 per page. When I run this code I get the first image on every page. Why is that?

var myFunction = function(){
       var sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select the source folder");
       var myFiles = sourceFolder.getFiles();
  
       for (i = 0; i < myFiles.length; i++){
            for (j=0; i < myDoc.pages.length; j++){
                myDoc.pages[j].rectangles[0].place(myFiles[i]);
                }     
        }
}

myFunction();

You are looping through the pages per file. So
image 1: page 1, page 2, page 3...

In your snippet you don't need to loop through the pages.

for (i = 0; i < myFiles.length; i++){                 
   myDoc.pages[i].rectangles[0].place(myFiles[i]);
}

 
btw. I would check if there are enough pages and add if necessary/you have more files than pages.
