How to Set Swatch with Popup Window

Hi @BryanPagenkopf, @Charu Rajput is right about the window type. In your case you need a "dialog". Otherwise the button events didn't seem to work. Here is an example implementation of what you asked. - Mark

(function () {

    // GENERATEPROOF
    // =============
    var generateProof = new Window("dialog");
    generateProof.text = "Generate Proof Options";
    generateProof.preferredSize.width = 600;
    generateProof.preferredSize.height = 200;
    generateProof.orientation = "column";
    generateProof.alignChildren = ["fill", "top"];
    generateProof.spacing = 10;
    generateProof.margins = [25, 25, 25, 25];

    // PANEL1
    // ======
    var panel1 = generateProof.add("panel", undefined, undefined, { name: "panel1" });
    panel1.text = "Raised";
    panel1.orientation = "column";
    panel1.alignChildren = ["center", "top"];
    panel1.spacing = 10;
    panel1.margins = 10;

    // RAISEDMETAL
    // ===========
    var raisedMetal = panel1.add("group", undefined, { name: "raisedMetal" });
    raisedMetal.orientation = "row";
    raisedMetal.alignChildren = ["left", "center"];
    raisedMetal.spacing = 10;
    raisedMetal.margins = 0;

    var radiobutton1 = raisedMetal.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, { name: "radiobutton1" });
    radiobutton1.text = "Aluminum\ SS";

    var radiobutton2 = raisedMetal.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, { name: "radiobutton2" });
    radiobutton2.text = "Bronze";

    var radiobutton3 = raisedMetal.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, { name: "radiobutton3" });
    radiobutton3.text = "Brass";

    var radiobutton4 = raisedMetal.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, { name: "radiobutton4" });
    radiobutton4.text = "Flash Bronze";

    var radiobutton5 = raisedMetal.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, { name: "radiobutton5" });
    radiobutton5.text = "Copper";

    var radiobutton6 = raisedMetal.add("radiobutton", undefined, undefined, { name: "radiobutton6" });
    radiobutton6.text = "Custom Paint";

    // GROUP1
    // ======
    var group1 = generateProof.add("group", undefined, { name: "group1" });
    group1.orientation = "row";
    group1.alignChildren = ["right", "center"];
    group1.spacing = 10;
    group1.margins = 0;

    var button1 = group1.add("button", undefined, undefined, { name: "ok" });
    button1.text = "OK";
    generateProof.defaultElement = button1;

    var button2 = group1.add("button", undefined, undefined, { name: "button2" });
    button2.text = "Cancel";

    var button3 = group1.add("button", undefined, undefined, { name: "button3" });
    button3.text = "Set Default";

    // GENERATEPROOF
    // =============
    var statictext1 = generateProof.add("statictext", undefined, undefined, { name: "statictext1" });
    statictext1.text = "Creativity is intelligence having fun ~ Albert Einstein";
    statictext1.alignment = ["center", "top"];

    button1.onClick = function () { generateProof.close(1) };
    button2.onClick = function () { generateProof.close(2) };
    button3.onClick = function () { generateProof.close(3) };

    var result = generateProof.show();
    $/*debug*/.writeln('result = ' + result);

    if (result == 2)
        // user cancelled
        return;

    if (result == 1) {

        // user clicked OK

        // get selected swatch name
        var radioButtonCount = 6,
            selectedSwatchName;
        for (var i = 1; i <= radioButtonCount; i++) {
            var radio = raisedMetal['radiobutton' + i];
            if (radio.value == true) {
                selectedSwatchName = radio.text;
                break;
            }
        }

        var doc = app.activeDocument;

        // get the swatch
        var swatch = getByName(doc.swatches, selectedSwatchName);

        if (swatch == undefined) {
            alert('No Swatch called "' + selectedSwatchName + '" was found in document.');
            return;
        }

        if (!swatch.hasOwnProperty('color')) {
            alert('To do: work out how to handle swatch "' + selectedSwatchName + '".');
            return;
        }

        // set the fillColor
        var item = doc.selection[0];

        if (
            item != undefined
            && item.hasOwnProperty('fillColor')
        ) {
            item.fillColor = swatch.color;
        }

    }

    else if (result == 3) {

        // user clicked Set Default


    }


    function getByName(things, name) {
        for (var i = 0; i < things.length; i++)
            if (things[i].name == name)
                return things[i];
    };


})();

 Note: I put it in a function expression just so I could conveniently return when errors or user cancelled.
