Hello,

currently I'm drawing an empty frame, then selecting it and after i run 
script which begins like this:

var myFile= File.openDialog();
	if (myFile){
	app.selection[0].place (myFile);
	var mainFrame=app.selection[0];
	var myStory=app.selection[0].parentStory;

.... and so on....

But I need to draw an empty frame. Is there a way to place text file by 
script wihtout having empty text frame? Like in GUI: at first you select 
file, only then you draw textFrame...

Thank you,
Algis
