Don't know what goes wrong. Try this one -- it does only frames that are embedded and doesn't stop on errors:



myPages = app.activeDocument.pages; 
for (i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++) 
  { 
  myFrames = myPages[i].allPageItems; 
  for (j = myFrames.length-1; j > -1; j--) 
    { 
    if (myFrames[j].parent.constructor.name = 'Character') 
      { 
      try 
        { 
        myPages[i].textFrames.add (myFrames[j].properties); 
        myFrames[j].remove(); 
        } 
      catch(_){} 
      } 
    } 
  }
