Change global variables based on radio button selection

Question

I have a real simple problem: I have a form with a radio button group called "Membership Status". The two options are "Member" and "Non-Member". When "Member" is selected, I want to change the values of a set of global variables one way, and when "Non-Member" is selected, I want to change the values another way. Where do I put this code (e.g., as a Javascript action on each separate radio button option, on a document Javascript, etc), and what's the syntax to get me started?

I would use the Calculation script of a (hidden) text field to do it. Like this:

var memStatus = this.getField("Membership Status").valueAsString;
if (memStatus=="Member") {
	global.var1 = "ABC";
	global.var2 = 1234;
} else if (memStatus=="Non-Member") {
	global.var1 = "DEF";
	global.var2 = 5678;
} else {
	global.var1 = "";
	global.var2 = 0;
}

The reason for doing it like that is that it would also update if the form is cleared, for example, which a Mouse Up script on the radio-buttons themselves won't do.
