I have come across what looks like a bug to me in the behavior of the radiobutton component in Flash 8 Pro.
I have posted a movie at: http://huntingdesign.com/radioproblem/radioproblem.html And the source FLA at: http://huntingdesign.com/radioproblem/radioproblem.fla Here is the code applied to the movieclip that contains the radio buttons: onClipEvent (mouseDown) { if(hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)) { for (item in this) { rButton = this[item]; if (rButton.getState()) { trace ("You selected "+rButton.getLabel()); _root.dyntext.text = rButton.getLabel(); } } } } This is taken pretty much straight from the Macromedia docs on radio buttons. The behavior I see is that with one click nothing happens. With another click the selected button get darkened, but no label is reported to the dynamic text area or to the trace. Then with a click on the other radio button the PREVIOUSLY SELECTED button now is reported. After that point always the previously selected button is always reported, so if you click on a button multiple times it reports the other button first then itself. All I am trying to do here is create a simple interface to toggle between two states in a movie, which I thought would be a logical use for radio buttons -- but this is really frustrating. -- Randal _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
