[CS2][JS] Search text & replace with inline Image

Question

I am working with a large layout with many entries. There is a text "placeholder" that I need to search for and replace with an inline image in that exact spot.
I need to apply an Object Style to that image.
There is a loop above this for each find/replace to perfom
I have supplied samples to show what the variables will hold
The following assumes that an Objectstyle named "image" exists
//places the image
app.changePreferences = null;
findName = "OR-00014500-24-0000-1";
fileName = "Ads:OR-00014500-24-0000-1:OR-00014500-24-0000-1.eps"
myFinds = app.search(findName)
for (j = myFinds.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
app.select(myFinds[j]);
app.place(fileName, false,{appliedObjectStyle:"image"});
This doesn't apply the style to the placed object and I have tried many different ways to apply this in the properties.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've seem to hit another hurdle....
The code works well for searching and replacing the images. It applies the style to the image, but these images are not inline they are anchored. I ended up with a nice stack of images in the same corner.
Ok... I need to then apply styles based on the images that have been placed already..
This works well for cycling through the pages and with a bit more will change the style...
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
pagecount = myDoc.pages.length;
for ( page=0; page < pagecount; page++){
if (myDoc.pages.item(page).textFrames.length != 0){
app.select(myDoc.pages.item(page).textFrames.item(0));
piccount = app.selection[0].rectangles.length;
if (piccount != 0){
for ( bob=0; bob < piccount; bob++){
app.select(myDoc.pages.item(page).textFrames.item(0));
app.select(app.selection[0].rectangles.item(bob));
// Get geometric bounds
// alert(app.selection[0].geometricBounds);
// Get object Style
// alert(app.selection[0].appliedObjectStyle.name);
// Do more here....
I can't use this though :(
I need to determine how many images have already been placed on the page before placing the image in the search and replace....
myFinds = app.search(replaceName)
for (j = myFinds.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
app.select(myFinds[j]);
myStory = myFinds[j].parent;
myIndex = myFinds[j].index;
//This will change using a series of Case Switches
// Here is where I need to find the page and run the previous script or something like it myStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.item("image");
app.place(fileName, false);
myStory.characters[myIndex].pageItems[0].applyObjectStyle(myStyle);
app.select(myStory.characters[myIndex].pageItems[0]);
//alert(app.selection[0].appliedObjectStyle.name);
What I need to do is kind of combine the two....
But I can't seem to get the current page of the selected image....
I could use the page by page script, but it moves the character anchor point of images and pushes them to the next page. This throws off the pretty layout I'm going for.
What am I doing wrong here ?
