I wonder if anyone could explain the following;

I'm trying to access a textFrame on a masterpage by it's scriptlabel.
The textframe has a scriptlabel 'frmCardN', still, the line below doesn't work:
newPage.appliedMaster.textFrames.item("frmCardN").contents = iNumOfSpeeches;

Strangely enough when I try this:
alert(newPage.appliedMaster.textFrames.item("frmCardN").label);
It returns 'frmCardN' ....

I worked around this by looping through appliedMaster.textFrames, checking each label and then using textFrames.item(<int>) syntax but still it bugs me, anyone have the same experience ?
