A better way to write this.
My hope was to run through the list of inks and check each ink to see if it matched with a name in my array and then assign a value. I was attempts were unsuccessful. So I went with a bunch of if statements. I know I should be able to reduce this down and say if variable ink ==name in this array assign it this value from this array.
When I make a second loop to get to the array name the first loop does not work.
I just need a point in the right direction.
myDocument=app.activeDocument;
densityChange();
function densityChange(){
/*for (i=0; i<myDocument.swatches.length; i++){
name = myDocument.swatches.name;
//neutralDensity
alert(name);
}
}
