Connecting function to specific group in dialog box

[Wonderboy]

I have a dialog box with multiple groups and each group has a radio buttons. as you can see in the attached photo, there is a few radio groups. here is the code i have been messing with…

Code:

// ===========
var ColorBtnGrp = colorInfoPnl.add(“group”, undefined, {name: “ColorBtnGrp”});
ColorBtnGrp.orientation = “column”;
ColorBtnGrp.alignChildren = [“left”,”top”];
ColorBtnGrp.spacing = 10;
ColorBtnGrp.margins = 0;

var CMYK = ColorBtnGrp.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “CMYK”});
CMYK.text = “CMYK”;

var spotsOnly = ColorBtnGrp.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “spotsOnly”});
spotsOnly.text = “Spots Only”;

var blackSpots = ColorBtnGrp.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “blackSpots”});
blackSpots.text = “Black + Spots”;

var blackOnly = ColorBtnGrp.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “blackOnly”});
blackOnly.text = “Black Only”;

ColorBtnGrp.children[0].value = true;
function colorGrpBtns (colorBtn) {
for (var i = 0; i < colorBtn.children.length; i++) { if (colorBtn.children[i].value == true) { alert(colorBtn.children[i].text) return colorBtn.children[i].text; } } }

how to i connect this function to this specific group?

if needed i can provide full script but its about 250 lines and mostly just dialog right now

i figured it out. i just made an if statement for every radio button. if the value is true, then make that layer show

Code:

if(dialog.show()==1){

var customer = myEvent.target.textFrames.itemByName(“customer name”);
customer.contents = customerInput.text

if(unwind1.value == true){
myEvent.target.layers.itemByName(“Unwind 1”).visible = true;
var unwind1layer = myEvent.target.layers
}

if(unwind2.value == true){
myEvent.target.layers.itemByName(“Unwind 2”).visible = true;
var unwind2layer = myEvent.target.layers
}

if(unwind3.value == true){
myEvent.target.layers.itemByName(“Unwind 3”).visible = true;
var unwind3layer = myEvent.target.layers
}

if(unwind4.value == true){
myEvent.target.layers.itemByName(“Unwind 4”).visible = true;
var unwind4layer = myEvent.target.layers
}
}

right now i have this script working good, but it only effects the pages in the layout, not the master page. is there a way to have it effect the master page?

below is the function i call. Is it possible to change Document to MasterPage or something like that?

Code:

function myOpenFunction(myEvent){

if(myEvent.target instanceof Document){
