Title: Outcome is incorrect of grouped "group boxes"
Hi, I have a syntax problem with “grouped” boxes.
When elements are grouped in 1 time in quark the outcome of this script is OK, but when the group exist of 2 or 3 groups the outcome is zero.

Any help is much appreciated

--- snip ---
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
    tell document 1
        activate
       set theobject to object reference of the selection
       repeat with i from 1 to (count every picture box of theobject)
        end repeat
   end tell
end
tell
--- snip ---

Example of 16 elements (pictures and textboxes grouped with select all and then group in quark)
Correct outcome:
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
   activate
   get object reference of selection of document 1
       group box 1 of document "GF1F07-256_95"
   count every picture box of group box 1 of document "GF1F07-256_95"
       16
end tell

Example of 16 elements (pictures and textboxes grouped with select 6 elements and then group in quark,
then select 10 elements and then group in quark, then select both groups and made 1 group)
wrong outcome:
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
   activate
   get object reference of selection of document 1
       group box 1 of document "GF1F07-256_95"
   count every picture box of group box 1 of document "GF1F07-256_95"
       0
end tell
