I have a script that looks for the color breakdown of swatches and checks to see if the ink sum is over 290.
For some reason, some colors in a document have 'compound' values, instead of a single integer for each ink, there is the entire ink breakdown.
How is this possible?

script:
set myColor to color value of swatch (item i of mylist)
set myTotal to ((item 1 of myColor) + (item 2 of myColor) + (item 3 of myColor) + (item 4 of myColor))

result for a color:
get color value of swatch "C=100 M=50 Y=100 K=50" of document 1
		{{100.0, 50.0, 100.0, 50.0}, {100.0, 50.0, 100.0, 50.0}, {100.0, 50.0, 100.0, 50.0}}

If I duplicate the offending swatch, and rename it, then it is correctly calculated. Ideas?
