      myFrames = myPages[i].textFrames




and 

      myFrames = myPages[i].textFrames.everyItem()




gives you only the "independent" text frames. But 

      myFrames = myPages[i].allPageItems;




gives you all page items, including the embedded ones. I realise now that that also includes rectangles and every other page item, so maybe before duplicating it you want to check whether the page item is a text frame.
