Hi, I have a total newcomer question?
I am importing a graphics from a file into the active page. At at least I think so by:

	myDoc = app.activeDocument;
	myPage =app.activeWindow.activePage
        myFile = File("C:/Petka/02okt/TRENUTNI/02kreb.ai")
        // .ai, .jpg or .tif

	myImage=app.activeWindow.activePage.place(myFile,[100,50]);
        // I position the graphics with the frame at 100, 50
	geomBounds=myImage.geometricBounds;
        // get the coordinates
	myImage.move([10,10]); // moving the image

The problem is, that I moved just the image without the frame.
I tried with:

	myImage.fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);

but I get error that .fit is not a function which I believe since it seems that I am playing with the image not the pageItem.
I have several questions to you gurus and mothers:

What kind of object have I created by 	myImage=app.activeWindow.activePage.place(myFile,[100,50]);
Is it image, graphics, pict or pageItem???

Is there a function that would tell you the name of the object you are using? Something like

alert(typeOf(myImage));
//With the response

image (or whatever)

And finally What magic line is it missing in order to move objects with frames??

Thanks to all good souls around,

Miha

PS Oh yes. One more if I may.
In the reference it says that you can move "to" or "by". How to change the following line if one wants to move "by"
myImage.move([10,10]); // moving the image "to" new position
