cs4 set color of text frame does not work

[andyf65867865]

I need to set registration color to selection and the following doesn't work

var colour = app.activeDocument.swatches['[registration]'].color;
selection[0].contents.fillColor = colour;

using `selection[0].fillColor` doesn't work also

Is the selection a text frame?

[andyf65867865]

yes, it's a text frame

Try

selection[0].textRange.fillColor = color;

i used `textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor` based on your other answer and it works
