AS for InDesign - find artwork set to overprint

Hi all,
I have a very large volume of files -- I'm trying to create a script
that will search for 2 specifically named pieces of artwork in an
InDesign file and set every instance of that artwork to overprint.
Once it's finished, then save the file (to it's original location).

I've got my ID dictionary open but I'm not sure how is the best way to
find the artwork and do the change... ??

I was planning on having the script attached to a folder action.

Here's what I've stolen from one of my other scripts.

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
	launch
	set this_image to open file (source_file as string)

	--here is where i want to put the find specific file names with
attribute overprint unchecked & change it's attribute to overprint and
keep looping until it doesn't find anymore of the files names without
overprint checked.

	close this_image saving yes
end tell

You're help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Rosie
