InDesign from QXP Script

Hi,
l'm trying to change my QXP scripts to work in InDesign and l can't work out
to set box names - (labels/id's).

What l did in QXP was change each text box's id number on the page to a word
that matched the name of a text file l wanted to import into it, that way l
just got a list of the file names in the import folder and selected each
text box on my page and set the story to the file. All the current file data
imported into the correct boxes.

My QXP box naming code is the following:

============

tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1

set dialogResult to display dialog "Please enter box name?" default
answer ""
set boxName to text returned of dialogResult
set the name of the current box to boxname

end tell
end tell

====================


l'm trying to set the text frame's id/label is InDesgin - can you do this?

Regards, Gary
