Swapping fill and stroke on multiple objects

app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", false);
var v_selection = app.activeDocument.selection;

Swap(v_selection);

function Swap(selection) {
    var ob_keep = null;
    
    for (var k = 0; k < selection.length; k++) {
        var subSelelction = selection[k];
        
        if (subSelelction.typename == 'PathItem') {
            var c_fill = subSelelction.fillColor;
            var c_stroke = subSelelction.strokeColor;

            {
                Swap(ob_keep[n].pageItems);
            }
            else if (ob_keep[n] && ob_keep[n].typename == 'CompoundPathItem') {
                Swap(ob_keep[n].pathItems);
            }
        }
    }
}

redraw();

thanks for the handy tip but how do I use the script? non coder here

Save this script with a name you desire with the .jsx extension in Illustrator Folder:Presets:Scripts:.

Run the script ... it will swap the fill/color for all the path items in current document.

Cheers.

var v_selection = app.activeDocument.pathItems;
SwapFillStroke(v_selection);

function SwapFillStroke(objSel) {
    for(k = 0; k < objSel.length; k++){
        var subSel = objSel;
         var c_fill = subSel.fillColor;
        var c_stroke = subSel.strokeColor;
        subSel.fillColor = c_stroke;
        if(!subSel.stroked)
             subSel.stroked = true;
        subSel.strokeColor = c_fill;        
    }
}

redraw();

This one should do the same on a selection(as was originally intended):

var v_doc = app.activeDocument;
var v_selection = v_doc.selection;

swapFillStroke(v_selection);

function swapFillStroke(objSel) {
    var ob_keep = null;
    for(k = 0; k < objSel.length; k++){
           var subSel = objSel;
            if(subSel.typename == 'PathItem'){
                  var c_fill = subSel.fillColor;
                  var c_stroke = subSel.strokeColor;
                  subSel.fillColor = c_stroke;
                  if(!subSel.stroked)
                       subSel.stroked = true;
                  subSel.strokeColor = c_fill;                 
            } else {
                  if(ob_keep==null) {
                       ob_keep = new Array();
                       ob_keep.push(objSel);
                  } else {
                      ob_keep.length +=1;
                      ob_keep.push(objSel);
                 }           
           }
    }
    if(ob_keep !=null){
        for(n = 0; n < ob_keep.length; n++) {
            if(ob_keep.typename == 'GroupItem') swapFillStroke(ob_keep.pageItems);
            else if (ob_keep.typename == 'CompoundPathItem') swapFillStroke(ob_keep.pathItems);
        }
      }
}

redraw();
