Set toggle to true on the buttons and then you can check the selected property.
btn.toggle = true; trace(btn.selected); HTH, Ryan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ericmaslowski Sent: Monday, June 08, 2009 9:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Grab the Current State of a Button Hello, I have been trying to do something very simple here with Flex but have hit a wall. I have several toggle buttons throughout the UI that when one is activated others change their states depending on the states of others. So, if button one is pressed button 1 looks at what other buttons are pressed and makes a decision on what to do. Sometimes this involves resetting another button's state to UP or DOWN. The problem is that I can't find out how to query the state of any of these buttons. I would think it would be a simple member of the Button class that one can test like: if(button.getState() == ButtonStates.DOWN) {...} I looked into what Flex refers to as states, ButtonPhase (although there doesn't seem to be any documentation on this), and a few other methods. I would really hate to resort to creating over a dozen functions and event handlers to get this very simple query to work. Does anyone have any pointers or advice? Thanks! E.
