I am attempting to get a list of text frames through this code:

tell application "InDesign"
tell active document
set mypage to page 1
set textlist to every text frame of mypage

The script errors out at this last line, telling me "Can't get every text frame of page id 123..." etc.

How does one procure a list of text frames from the page (or wherever)?

My apologies for these simple questions, but I can't seem to find the answers in the references I am looking at (which probably means I don't know where to look).
