Hi all,
I've beaten my head against the wall on this one. I've come to determine
that Illustrator CS can NOT create a new spot color via AppleScript. What I
get as a result, is a color swatch that is named correctly, but is set to a
process color. If I replace the class 'spot' with class 'swatch' in my
script, the only difference I notice is that the 'Global' color option is
selected when I use class 'spot' and when I use class 'swatch' I get a
process color, without the 'Global' check box selected (in Swatch Options).

tell application "Illustrator CS"
make new document
-- make a new swatch
set newSpot to make new spot at the beginning of current document ¬
with properties ¬
{name:"testspot", color:{cyan:20, magenta:0, yellow:50, black:0}}
-- set variable to the new swatch
set newSpot to spot of color of swatch "testspot" of current document
-- draw a basic rectangle and fill it with the spot color
set newRectangle to make new rectangle in current document with ¬
properties {bounds:{0, 0, 50, 50}, stroked:false, ¬
fill color:{class:spot color info, spot: newSpot, tint:100.0}}
end tell

Can anyone verify this? Or has anyone found a method for successfully
creating NEW Spot Swatches in Adobe Illustrator CS (v11) using AppleScript?
Thanks,
Jake
