In the words of the immortal William Bendix, "What a revolting development this is." - Life of Riley.

I can't seem to make storing in a library work. Here's what I tried:

//DESCRIPTION: Test of duplicating using a library

myItem = app.selection[0];
myLib = app.libraries.item('BioLib');
myAsset = myLib.store(myItem);

I selected the inline text frame, but the store command reports: Object is invalid.

I confess to finding the tables in the Scripting Guide that describe methods to be someone opaque. For the store method there's the added complication that there is a composition mistake in that the description of Type clearly relates to something else. [This is on page 786 of the guide.] Sneaking a look at the VB equivalent on page 1446 doesn't help: what does "variant" mean?

What am I supposed to do with the word "using"? I tried:

myAsset = myLib.store({using:myItem});

but that gave the same error.

Help! If I can't duplicate this darn frame one way or another, I'm going to have to move the original text and I'm leary of doing that because I'm going to get hopelessly lost.
