I am getting the same error as adrian wolfson, and the fix you posted works correctly. I am on 64bit Vista, AI and Flash CS4. It might be a good idea to put the fix in the download file, if this script is still maintained.

Very useful script for such a frustrating gap between Adobe products.

Thanks, Herr Moose! If they made everything perfect, then what would I do with my spare time?

This is extremely useful. Once again I cannot understand why an obvious function like this has to be implemented by someone in his spare time. Thank you very much!

Kiki,
Yes, it looks like the script is running into a color it can’t convert. There are 2 ways to try and diagnose the problem:
1) Delete colors one at a time, until you can generate the error with one swatch in your palette, then send me the info on that swatch.
2) Post the Illustrator file somewhere (you can delete the content and leave the swatches) and I can use the file for testing.

If I can replicate the error with your help, we should be able to find a fix.

wow, this is awesome! I’m having a problem similar to Adrian’s but not exactly. When I run the script in Illustrator, I get this error:

Error 21: undefined is not an object.
Line: 86
-> var red =
Math.round(rgbArray[0]).toString(16)

do I have a color that’s defined wrong in Illustrator?

Adrian, the variable “apps” is used to loop through and check for all versions of Flash, so the swatches can be sent to CS3 as well, if that’s the version of Flash that is open.

I have yet to encounter this problem on any of my own machines, so I don’t know why the “apps” variable would be undefined.

To fix: locate the script file, open it in a text editor, find the offending line, add a return before it, and paste this code:
if(!this.hasOwnProperty("apps")) return "flash";

Hopefully that should bypass the problem. Let me know how it works.

If anyone else has this problem, please let me know, I’ll be sure to incorporate a fix into the next version.
