object join selection/group in puzzles?

Hi,
to add an object to a collection, you can use the following code:
myObj.groupNames.push('mycollectionName');

to discern the object and the group in puzzles i did this.. but not working.. any pointers?

app.ExternalInterface.addToGroup = function(myObj, mycollectionName) {       
           myObj.groupNames.push(mycollectionName);
    }

then also

app.ExternalInterface.addToGroup = function(myObj, mycollectionName) {       
     var object = myObj.groupNames.push(mycollectionName);
    }

no dice

var myObj = app.scene.getObjectByName(‘myObjectName’);
myObj.groupNames.push(‘mycollectionName’);

kk.. soo liiiiike..
to wrap that in a JS call puzzle.. so i can use it in puzzles… and to designate those….
i use app.ExternalInterface.addToGroup = function ()
before that right?
then designate the inputs the JScall puzzle piece has as inputs as function parameters right?

trying like this..

app.ExternalInterface.addToGroup = function () {
            var myObj = app.scene.getObjectByName('Info_Glass');
            myObj.groupNames.push('Fader Collection');
            }

does the job perfect.

but i want to make the puzzle have inputs so i can plug in any items as the object and the array, IN the JS Puzzle…. like this..

app.ExternalInterface.addToGroup = function (objectToAdd,arrayToAddTo) {
        var myObj = app.scene.getObjectByName(objectToAdd);
        myObj.groupNames.push(arrayToAddTo);
        }  

but not working. the JS call inputs should be named the function parameters right?

edit… this attempt here..

app.ExternalInterface.addToGroup = function (objectToAdd) {
        var myObj = app.scene.getObjectByName(objectToAdd);
        myObj.groupNames.push('Fader Collection');
        }

works where i can plug in any object to the object to be added slot…

i think the last above version is satisfactory for what i’m doing.
if i need a different collection to add to, i’d just make a new js call with the different collection designated.

but i’m curious.
is the “groupNames” distinct to v3d.js ?
if so, i’m guessing it’s what designates collections?
that in mind, i’m wondering how to format the above to receive a variable that would allow for dynamic naming of whichever list i want.

do you use .filter() to REMOVE objects from collections?
