When you dynamically create a CheckBox, store it in that variable: <mx:Script> // Any other method in this class can access the radio buttons using these variables private var radioButton1:RadioButton; private var radioButton2::RadioButton; private function createRadioButtons():void { radioButton1 = new RadioButton(); // set properties, styles, and event handlers on radioButton1 radioButton2 = new RadioButton(); // set properties, styles, and event handlers on radioButton1 } </mx:Script> If you don't know in advance how many checkboxes you''ll be creating, use an array: <mx:Script> // Any other method in this class can access the radio buttons using this array. private var radioButtons:Array /* of RadioButton */ = []; private function createRadioButtons():void { for (var i:int = 0; i < ...; i++) { var rb:RadioButton; // set properties, styles, and event handlers on rb radioButtons.push(rb); } } </mx:Script> - Gordon ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of alex steel Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 5:19 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: dynamically created access and event elements problem and Hi Alex, thanks for your time and help I manage to get Event working but I still have a problem with variables how should I get to them based on my code tabs is name of TabNavigator tab_page3 is name of tab / canvas and thats the place where checkboxes and text is created I've tried using getChildByName but with no luck so can you help me on part "you should keep variable referencing to checkboxes" thanks! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You should keep variables referencing the checkboxes, call > addEventListener to listen to the "change" event and set the selected > property of the other checkbox > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of alex steel > Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 11:33 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: dynamically created access and event elements > problem and > > > > can somebody help me please > this is second post with question and yet nobody answers and I am sure > this is pretty easy > I count on people here, but if you think I should try to find better > place for help please let me know > > Alex > ... > > This piece of code helps me create dynamically checkboxes in one of > > the Tabs in my TabNavigator > > > > my problem is how to access now to this elements so I can check their > > value and how to make event to make unselected some other checkbox on > > click > > checkboxes are grouped in Left and Right and only Left or Right can be > > selected, that's why I need an event > > basiclly with hand placed CheckBoxes click=3D"cb_r.selected=3Dfalse" > is > > enough but for dynamically created I need your help > > > > THANKS in ADVANCE ;) > > >
