Does anyone know how I can make this below script work? I do have a swatch called "RED" in my document.

The problem is that I also have tint swatches that have the same name? RED 90%, RED 80%, etc. etc. I suppose this is why the script can't figure out what swatch to use?

Is there a way I can get around this so that the script can target only the master RED swatch that is not a tint swatch?

tell application "InDesign CS"
	set properties of selection to {fill color:swatch "RED" of active document}
end tell

Thanks,
jeff
