: Applescript for Ai CS6, color set and get This is the last time I ask the question about Applescript - I see that this topic is unpopular since none of my questions has been answered. Probably

@Angela777

I post the answer with the whole script, because Gramps asked for.
This script recolors the layer label color to provided RGB code - reddish

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set layersCounter to count layers in current document
display dialog "In current document there are " & layersCounter & " layers." & "Recolor layers label?"
repeat until (layersCounter = 0)
set color of layer layersCounter in current document to {red:255, blue:11, green:15}
set layersCounter to layersCounter - 1
end repeat
end tell

So, in computer programming terms, the kind of numbers you have are called floating point numbers (sometimes they're called real numbers, too). The kind of number that you want is called an integer. To convert a floating point number to an integer, you need to use the magic phrase as integer when getting your number.

It works like this:

set currentColor to color of current layer in current document
set redValue to red of currentColor as integer


Now you should get 45 for your red, not 45.000001117587.

This tutorial gives more information about the various types of data in AppleScript.
