Dave:
I'm fallible enough to know that it could very well have been a typo, so I cut and pasted the above text into a script, changed "cyan" to "Cyan" and attempted to run the script. I still got the same error message, regardless of where I put line #2 (i.e. even if I put it inside the "tell active document" line).
As regards the color list, if I run this script
set colorlist to name of every color
return colorlist
The following is returned in the Script Result box:
{
"Black",
"C=0 M=0 Y=100 K=0",
"C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0",
"C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0",
"C=100 M=90 Y=10 K=0",
"C=15 M=100 Y=100 K=0",
"C=75 M=5 Y=100 K=0",
"Cyan",
"Magenta",
"Paper",
"Registration",
"Yellow",
""
}
I ran this script both before and after the "tell active document" line and it made no difference in the contents of the list.
So I ask again, if Cyan is in the color list, why can't I use that swatch?
Hey you smart guys from Adobe, if you happen to stumble upon this question, we sure would appreciate your wisdom!
