Hello,

I am new to Javascripting so don't beat me... I am trying to write a Javascript to select a rectangle frame and delete it. I would identify it by the fact that it is labeled as a certain name ("delete").

So I can write a script to delete an object I already have selected... which I understand is not an accomplishment! ;) Trouble is I can't seem to find a way to scan through objects by it's assigned name and then delete it.

I can't even figure out how to automatically select an object based on any criteria even after some time in front of the ID scripting guide. I also searched the web and this forum... no dice.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Dewey
