CS3/VBScript: Retrieving LabColor Info From Swatches

Question

Back in AI 7.0, I was able to both create swatches and spot colors via VBScript, and retrieve color information.  With CS3, I am able to create spots, but not retrieve the color information from them.  Is intentional, or am I doing something wrong?
Using VBScript, I would like to return Lab information from a series of swatches in an open document.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In my opinion, locate a cell according to his content is not so effortable. What happens if contents of more than two cells are equals?
I take xml elements of associated xml element of table and put them into an array.
This array contains associated xml elements of every cell ordered by cell positions into table.
Now, locate associated xml element of a cell based on its array position (index) is more reliable:
var myCell_cell = app.selection[0];
var myElement = myCell.associateXMLElement
if (!myElement || !myElement.isValid)  {
     var table =  myCell.parent;
     var xml_tab = table.associatedXMLElement;
     var xml_cells_arr = xml_tab.xmlElements.everyItem().getElements();
     var idx = myCell.index;
     myElement = xml_cells_arr[idx];
