[AS] Using the "place" command?

Question

Hi
Im trying to place a illustrator eps onto the second page in my document, but the "place"
command doesn't seem to work, I see other people are having issues with getting it to work also,
is their a sure fire way to make it place the requested file?, if so what would it be, ive tried all sorts of combinations,
all of which fail, with (most of the time) ID doesn't understand the "place" command?, I have seen
that you can call a javascript that will do this but I know zero about javascript, any help welcome.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate
set myFile to "Macintosh HD:Users:PATH TO EPS"
tell my document
place alias myFile --on page 2
end tell
end tell
Cheers

You need to have a picture frame to place the art onto. You should label the frame. Then you can use the command"
place alias myfile on page item "box" of page 1 of document 1
Or if you don't want to use a labeled box, you can do something like this:
set myFile to choose file
place myFile on page 1 of document 1
