Hi Robert,

spreads are on top of the hierarchie.

Do you perhaps mean what pages a spread consist of?

For the active spread of a document this is:

app.documents[0].layoutWindows[0].activeSpread.pages.everyItem().documentOffset;

That will return an array of zero-based number(s). / Integers

If you want to get the page names use:

app.documents[0].layoutWindows[0].activeSpread.pages.everyItem().name;

That will return an array of page name(s) / Strings

For DOM documentation see what Gregor Fellenz has compiled for InDesign CC 2017:

InDesign ExtendScript API (12.0)

In InDesign CS 5.5 i use

spread.parentPage.name

[Laubender]

In ExtendScript parentPage is no property of object Spread.

That would not work.

For example, if you have a spread in variable mySpread you could ask for the name of the first page of that spread like that:

mySpread.pages[0].name

Or you like to know the position of the first page of that spread in the document you could use documetOffset:

mySpread.pages[0].documentOffset

I really don't know what you are asking here.

Make yourself more clear what you want to do in what situation.
