Hi!

I want to place an image into a text frame! This is my script:

var myDocument = app.documents.add();
with (myDocument){
	var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
	with (myPage){
		var myTextFrame = textFrames.add();
		myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["0mm", "0mm", "297mm", "221mm"];
		myTextFrame = place(File("cover.tif"));		
	}
}

The problem is when I start the script in InDesign the following error message appears:

JavaScript error!
Error Number: 48
Error String:"File or Folder does not exist"
Line: 15
Source: "mmyTextFrame = place(File("cover.tif"));"

Could anybody tell whats wrong with that??
