Task to Change color?

Hi again all.
Does anyone know if there is a task that will change a certain color to white if the file is run through it.
Example:
Illustrator file that has an object that is filled with the color "ScreenWhite" (ScreenWhite is a Spot color as 20% Black)
Want the ScreenWhite changed to 0% and then Knockout of any color that it might be on top of.
See attached screen capture for visual. Hard to explain.

This can be done in the "Optimize PDF Separations" task. You might need to play with it a little, but off the top of my head I would think using the INKS tab and under Action 1 remap "screen white" to a custom color that is 0% color (maybe "knockout"). Then use Action 2 to convert that to process (0,0,0,0). This should achieve what you want. If you cannot figure out a solution let me know and I will look into it a little more when a little less busy.

WI-Flexo. Got it except the Action 2 convert is not giving me the option to set to 0,0,0,0. getting a fill of 0,0,3.1,0 ???

My thought was in Action 1 to remap to a custom color that you make that has values of 0,0,0,0 and then when you convert that to process in Action 2 it should keep the 0,0,0,0. I will try to build it out in the morning and if I get it I will send it to you. If you get it before then let me know.
