I'm making a UI for my Framemaker script in which I have 21 checkboxes. I have 2 buttons, Select All, and Deselect All, which I want use to programmatically check and uncheck all the boxes. However, in the buttons currently do absolutely nothing. 
Code in my .onClick functions isn't getting executed at all. $.writeln ("test1"); isn't printing anything to the console.
var myWindow = new Window ("dialog");
var BG = myWindow.add("checkbox", undefined, "BG_Bulgarian"); //1
var CS = myWindow.add("checkbox", undefined, "CS_Czech"); //2
var DA = myWindow.add("checkbox", undefined, "DA_Danish"); //3

1 Correct answer
You are both right. I let my frustration with this problem get to me. The only thing wrong with my first implementation was the placement of
myWindow.show();
All of the button functions must be between
var myWindow = new Window ("dialog")
and
myWindow.show();
ScriptUI for Dummies is legit and I was just missed this rule.
