I need a simple JS or VBS script which cycles through the all text frames on the currently open page, and if any text frames have no contents, no fillColor and no strokeType, deletes them. I've got a simple script which deletes textFrames with no content:

var myFrames = app.documents[0].textFrames;
for (oneFrame = myFrames.length -1; oneFrame >=0; oneFrame--)
{
	if (myFrames[oneFrame].contents == "")
		myFrames[oneFrame].remove();
}

..but I can't figure out how to construct the if statement to include fill and stroke. Can anyone help?

Much appreciated!

Jim
