Is this even possible without editing the whole thing?  What i'm trying to do is get the same exact function thats in this script.  I'll post it below incase some of you dont have it.

main();

function main(){

    //Make certain that user interaction (display of dialogs, etc.) is turned on.

    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;

    if (app.documents.length != 0){

        if (app.selection.length > 0){

            switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){

                case "Rectangle":

                case "Oval":

                case "Polygon":

                case "GraphicLine":

                case "Group":

                case "TextFrame":

                case "Button":

                    myDisplayDialog();

                    break;

                default:           

                    alert("Please select a page item and try again.");

                    break;

            }

        }

        else{

            alert("Please select an object and try again.");

        }

    }

    else{

        alert("Please open a document, select an object, and try again.");

    }

}
