This works like a charm for frames filled or stroked with the color in question:
--
set theItems to (every page item of document 1 whose fill color is theSpotColor or stroke color is theSpotColor)
--

but it does not find images with the color applied. I tried this:
--
set theImages to every image of document 1 whose fill color is theSpotColor
--

Doesn't work. If I do this with an image directly selected:
--
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	set theObject to item 1 of selection
	set theProps to properties of theObject
end tell
--

theProps clearly shows:
--
{..., fill color:color id 51657 of document "MM_Pre-K.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS2", ...}
--

which is the color I'm looking for, but I can't seem to get a reference to the image based on that fill color.
