Select and Merge Swatches via javascript

[Developer1009]

Is there a way to: 1. Select swatches in swatch panel with JS 2. Use the Merge Swatches command with JS

You can select using itemByName from swatch and for merge swatches the velow links are useful

merge selected swatches...

There is no method itemByName in javascript , but there is a method getByName. This will return a swatch but does not select  in swatch panel.

You are right..Sorry..am new in Illustrator scripting.. in Indesign we used itemByName..

Try app.activeDocument.layers.getByName ("layer name").selected=true;

The code you write is for layers. Although it will not worked for layers as well but my requirement is to select the swatch from swatch panel of the Illustrator.

Hey Developer1009,

have you found a solution for merging the swatches? I'm looking for the same feature, but I cannot find any solution.

regards!
