I've created a script to create a new array called spots, here is the script:
main();
function main() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var selectedSwatches = doc.swatches.getSelected();
var pageNumber = 1;
var count = 0;
if (selectedSwatches.length > 0) {
var text = 'var spots = new Array(\n';
for (var i = 0; i < selectedSwatches.length; i++) {
var swatch = selectedSwatches[i]
var color = swatch.color;
// Spot
if (color.typename == "SpotColor") {
count++;
text += '"' + color.spot.name + '", ' + "\n";
color = color.spot.color;
if (count % 10 == 0)
pageNumber++;
}
}
var textend = ');';
var textArray = text + textend;
alert(textArray);
} else {
alert("No Swatches Selected.");
}
}
This script alerts the following:
var spots = new Array(
"Yellow 012 C",
"Bright Red C",
);
How do I now alert the contents of that array i.e. Yellow 012 C, Bright Red C
I have tried using:
alert(spots);
But I get the error undefined maybe because the array is created on the fly and its not placed in the script?
UPDATE:
As per the comments, I have edited the script adding:
var spots = [];
spots.push(color.spot)
alert(spots);
I now get the following error: undefined is not an object
Here's the full script
main();
function main() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var selectedSwatches = doc.swatches.getSelected();
var pageNumber = 1;
var count = 0;
if (selectedSwatches.length > 0) {
var text = 'var spots = new Array(\n';
for (var i = 0; i < selectedSwatches.length; i++) {
var swatch = selectedSwatches[i]
var color = swatch.color;
// Spot
if (color.typename == "SpotColor") {
count++;
text += '"' + color.spot.name + '", ' + "\n";
color = color.spot.color;
if (count % 10 == 0)
pageNumber++;
}
}
var textend = ');';
var textArray = text + textend;
var spots = [];
spots.push(color.spot)
alert(spots);
} else {
alert("No Swatches Selected.");
}
}

Try
function main() {
//var doc = app.activeDocument;
var selectedSwatches
= [{"color":{"spot":{"color":"#ff0000","name":"red"},"typename":"SpotColor"}}
,{"color":{"spot":{"color":"#000000","name":"black"},"typename":"SpotColor"}}];
// = doc.swatches.getSelected();
var pageNumber = 1;
var count = 0;
var spots = [];
if (selectedSwatches.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < selectedSwatches.length; i++) {
var swatch = selectedSwatches[i]
var color = swatch.color;
// Spot
if (color.typename == "SpotColor") {
count++;
spots.push(color.spot.name);
color = color.spot.color;
if (count % 10 == 0)
pageNumber++;
}
}
alert(spots.toString());
} else {
alert("No Swatches Selected.");
}
}
