Are you looking to get a reference to a text frame with a particular label? If the text frame of interest might be below the top level, you'll need to use allPageItems and iterate through the collection, but if it is freestanding in the document, then:

myDoc.textFrames.item("myLabel")

will give you the collection of all text frames that have said label. And if there's only one, then you're in fat city.
