[JS][CS3] Getting Page Number

Question

Hi.
I need to find the page number of the page containing a frame.
Normally I would use "myFrame.parent.name" to find the page number. However, I cannot use this method on an inline graphic.  What I get returned is the story, which has no page number.  I have used various ways, such as:
myFrame.parent.insertionPoints[0].parent
but nothing returns the page number.  I have looked at all the properties of the frame, and cannot find a property I can manipulate to extract the page number.
Is this possible? Should I give up now?
Cheers
Roy

Here is a function written by Dave Saunders:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myObj = app.selection[0];
$.write("The selected object is on page " + findPage(myObj).name + "\n") ;
function findPage(theObj) {
    var thePage = theObj;
    if (thePage.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
      thePage = thePage.parentTextFrames[0];
    while (thePage.constructor.name != "Page") {
      var whatIsIt = thePage.constructor.name;
      switch (whatIsIt) {
        case "Story" :
          thePage = thePage.textFrames[-1].parent;
          break;
        case  "Character" :
          thePage = thePage.parentTextFrames[0];
          break;
        case "Cell" :
          try {
            thePage = thePage.insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0];
            break;
          } catch (e) {
            // must be overset, so ignore
            return null;
        case "Application" :
          // must be off page, so ignore
          return null;
      thePage = thePage.parent;
    return thePage
