Anyone have an opinioin on what's the best way to script creating new pages during import of xml?

My basic idea is:
I make something that notices when the first page textframe gets full, and creates new page, then grabs the overflow from the first textframe and copies it to the second page textframe, and so on.

Seems like the most elegant way would be if some kind of event trigger could be created and attached to each main textframe that would notice when that textframe was full. Thought I saw something about that in the ID Scripting forum somewhere.

Thanks for any tips!
Ann
