Radio Button Groups

Jul 31, 2012 3:36 AM

Hi I am trying to create two radio button groups, one which contains other text buttons and names buttons, in this group only other text button or names can be chosen. But then within the other group I have all the names buttons, but i only want one of these to be chosen at a time. Heres my code

 

[AS]

import fl.controls.RadioButtonGroup;

 

 

 

 

//===========================All Name Buttons============================

 

 

var NameTxtRadio:RadioButtonGroup=new RadioButtonGroup("NameTxtRadio");

LStextMenu.LSnames.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NamesshowResult);

 

 

RStextMenu.RSnames.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NamesshowResult);

 

 

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

function NamesshowResult(event:MouseEvent):void {

   switch (NameTxtRadio.selection) {

//-------------------------------------------------------------------- ---   

          case RBtextMenu.RBnames :

           trace ("RB names chosen");

                         RStextMenu.RSnames.selected = false;

I have no problem choosing between either, other text button or names, only one is selected at a time, but this isnt the case for the other group im able to select multiple name buttons without the other one becoming deselected.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

    You appear to be trying to assign more than one RadioButtonGroup to same RadioButtons.  As far as I know, a RadioButton's group property can only be associated with one RadioButtonGroup.

     

    So between...

     

    LBtextMenu.LBnames.group=NameTxtRadio;   and

    LBtextMenu.LBnames.group=LBTxtRadio;

     

    Chances are the second one called is what is holding since it is reassigning away from the first one.

    Hi just if anyone else wants to do something like i have, I had to ditch the radio button component and make my own.

    Heres the code.

    You probably did the right thing.  I normally will not use the basic Flash components and create my own so that they behave the way I want them to.  The built-in ones tend to be weighty little things that have behavioral quirks.  The RadioButtons lead the list for those I recreate.
