What am I missing? I selected a group and did this in the debugger's console:

myTempGroup = app.selection[0] Result: [object Group]
myTempGroup.label Result: Cloneless-1
myTempGroup.textFrames Result: [object TextFrames]
myTempGroup.textFrames.item('FormatsFrame') Result: [object TextFrame]
myTempGroup.textFrames.item('FormatsFrame').label Result: Object is invalid

Huh? How can the result not be FormatsFrame? Didn't I just pick it out by its label?

Son of a ... I can't get at any of the properties of the text frame. I get object is invalid every time. What's going on here?
