Ir seems you are finding some specific swatch, saving its name and the using it to find some objects. I think the error is on line 

app.findObjectPreferences.fillColor = _DO_NOT_PRINT_Swatches1[s];

Debug and see if this has a valid value when the code reached this point. Maybe the index is wrong.

Yes. it valid value. here index is swatches name.

Hi,

as far as I can see from your code, this line:

app.findObjectPreferences.fillColor = _DO_NOT_PRINT_Swatches1[s];

tries to assign the name of a color to the fillColor property.

Instead try the following by assigning the color itself and not its name:

app.findObjectPreferences.fillColor = 
myDoc.colors.itemByName( _DO_NOT_PRINT_Swatches1[s] );

I hope, that your myDoc variable refers to the active document.

I tried this too, but still facing error, but instead of am found one thing,

Once try to manual, then the automation working well, but once app quit its shown same.

The error may be from the line below the .fillColor line:

varresultObject = myDoc.findObject();

You need a space after 'var' at the start.
