How to List Placed Tiffs into a BY PAGE???

Question

Dear Scripting team,
Is there a way to list the name of graphics (links) on each page and make a list like:
file1.tif Page 1
file2.tif page 3
file4.tif page 5
file5.tif page 8
I can list the graphic names with this:
Set myInDesign = CreateObject ("InDesign.Application.CS3")
for each element in myindesign.ActiveDocument.links
msgbox(element.name)
next
BUT I can not get the page where the graphic is contained as my list above or say something like... myindesign.ActiveDocument.pages.item(1).links because it give me an error... i mean.. ican't specify the page where I wanto to get the links and also can't know the page number where the element (link) is contained...
ANY IDEAS?? Thank you!! Thank you!!!

>myindesign.ActiveDocument.pages.item(1).links [..] give me an error<br /><br />That's because pages do not have a links property. Whatever manual you saw that in, throw it out, and use the proper Help manual. Pages have an allGraphics property, which conveniently "Lists all graphics contained by the Page." (from the ESTK2 Help). Rather <br />i unconventiently <br />is that this graphic type first contains a link, and the link then contains a filename -- you have to string'em all together by hand.<br /><br />Try this instead. It iterates over all your pages (first loop) and over all images on that page (2nd loop). This one is sure to display the items in order of appearance (which is possibly different when iterating over all links in your document at once).<br /><br />>for (var p=0; p<app.activeDocument.pages.length; p++)<br /><br />>     for (var g=0; g<app.activeDocument.pages[p].allGraphics.length; g++)<br /><br />>          app.activeDocument.selection[0].contents = app.activeDocument.selection[0].contents+"\r"+app.activeDocument.pages[p].allGraphics[g]. itemLink.name+" Page "+app.activeDocument.pages[p].name;<br /><br />[Before running this, draw an empty text frame and place your text cursor in that.]
