Overprint on outlined text

Question

So I looked around but could not find anything on here. I basically have a script that needs to select 3 text objects, then outline them, then set the group to overprint. I have been getting close to solving it, but I can't really figure out the overprint part. I was hoping that it would carry over if I set the text as overprint before I outlined them, but it didn't help. so I basically need to set the overprint on a Group, or I could loop through and set the overprint on the compound paths inside that group. any ideas?

So I found out I could not do this, because the overprint fill does not work on groups. I did find a work around though. Actions have no problem doing this so I created an action that set the overprint of whatever was selected to overprint fill. then all I had to do was use App.doScript() at the correct time in my code base.
