not able to merge table cells

hello forum,

 

i using indesign 5.5, having problem merge table cells through scripting.

 

i want merge multiple cells in table.

have merge first 3 merge coorectly, script not able merge forth merge.

 

i using,

 

var mydocument=app.activedocument;

var mytextframe=mydocument.spreads.item(0).textframes.item("spread0txtframe0");

var table =mytextframe.tables.firstitem();

 

var t = table.rows.length;

var f = table.rows.length - (t-start row count) // **start row count intiger indicates merge start row

var fn=table.rows.length - (t-end row count)

 

table.columns[1].cells[f].merge table.columns[2].cells[fn];      ////* [1]=starting column,,,[2]= end column

 

 

when pass value first 3 merge works when use forth merge indxing change value of rows.what passing f , fn.

 

example:-

var t = table.rows.length;

var f = table.rows.length - (t-0);

var fn=table.rows.length - (t-5);

table.columns[0].cells[f].merge table.columns[0].cells[fn];   // first merge

 

 

var t = table.rows.length;

var f = table.rows.length - (t-0);

var fn=table.rows.length - (t-0);

table.columns[2].cells[f].merge table.columns[3].cells[fn];   // second merge

 

 

var t = table.rows.length;

var f = table.rows.length - (t-1);

var fn=table.rows.length - (t-1);

table.columns[1].cells[f].merge table.columns[2].cells[fn];   // third merge

 

 

var t = table.rows.length;

var f = table.rows.length - (t-3);

var fn=table.rows.length - (t-3);   

table.columns[1].cells[f].merge table.columns[3].cells[fn];   // forth merge

 

i get

an row merges forth one..

 

 

seperately 4 merge works when fire script merge wrong cells in forth merge.

 

please correct me wrong in script.

your answer apriciated.
