Smart text flow doesn't work in scripting

Question

This is getting to be really frusting. I have enabled smart text flow, it only works if I open the app and modify a textframe. It never works when I run it through a script????? How do I activate this stupid feature using a script?

Hi,
This works (for me):
var document = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = document.textFrames.add();
var page = document.pages.add();
var nextTextFrame = page.textFrames.add();
document.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
document.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = false;
document.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = true;
document.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.END_OF_DOCUMENT;
textFrame.geometricBounds = [10, 10, 280, 200];
nextTextFrame.geometricBounds = [10, 10, 280, 200];
nextTextFrame.previousTextFrame = textFrame;
for(var index = 0; index < 100; index++)
    textFrame.contents += "Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World ";
