Works in ExtendScript and not in Script Panel [JS, CS3]

i've adapted findchangebylist script work particular page.

 

the trouble couple of text boxes need removed entirely.

 

so i've included lines:-

 

var mydoc = app.activedocument;

var mypageitems = mydoc.allpageitems;

for(var i=mypageitems.length-1;i>=0;i--)

{

    if(mypageitems[i].constructor.name.tostring()=="textframe")

    {

if (mypageitems[i].contents == "win £50"||mypageitems[i].contents == "win £100") {

mypageitems[i].select();

mypageitems[i].remove();

}

    }

}

 

... script gets down doing changes prescribed list

 

myobject = app.documents.item(0);

myfindchangebylist(myobject);

 

when run script in extendscript boxes vanish intended.

 

but when run indesign scripts panel, text frames stay , contents changed along contents of other text frames.

 

i've alt clicked script in scripts panel make sure i've got right script. it's 1 of head-scratchy-am-i-going-dafter affairs.

after testing box deletion part in scripts panel , checking wasn't culprit, saved box deleter script , specialised findchangefromlist script in indesign scripts folder (so don't appear in scripts panel) , wrote applescript 2 "do scripts". when run scripts panel script job. inelegant, know, ours not reason why, ours working.
