Yup. Color seems to be a document thing. It's interesting: you can name a color in the "tell application" block, but it doesn't mean anything when you get into the tell document block.



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
   set myYellow to color "C=0 M=0 Y=100 K=0" 
   tell active document 
      set myBox to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{20, 20, 30, 30}, fill color:myYellow} 
   end tell 
end tell



... gets me a blank box, even though the Event Log shows "C=0 M=0 Y=100 K=0" as color id 9. But



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
   tell active document 
      set myYellow to color "C=0 M=0 Y=100 K=0" 
      set myBox to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{20, 20, 30, 30}, fill color:myYellow} 
   end tell 
end tell



... gets me a yellow box.

The other thing w/ that first line in Oli's script is that he left out the word "color"

         set myColor to color "C=75 M=5 J=100 N=0"




One thing that I'm not sure about: is "color" and "swatch" synonymous?
