RadioButtons in ActionScript
Radio Buttons allow only one in a group to be selected. Notice that there are 2 groups: vehicles and food. You can select one from each group. An array made it easier to add event listeners to all of the radio buttons.
The properties for radCar are shown. Notice the groupName. It is vehicles for all of the vehicles and food for all of the food. This allos one vehicle and one food to be selected.:
The code is shown below:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var radButtons: Array=new Array("radTrain","radCar","radBus","radPizza","radIcecream","radSushi");
var i:int=0;
for(i=0;i<radButtons.length;i++) {
var s:String=radButtons[i];
this[s].addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,goChoice);
}
function goChoice(e:Event):void {
var s:String=e.target.name;
var pic=e.target.value;
this[pic].visible=this[s].selected;
}
