FLASH: form with radio buttons

[pebbles]

Hi everyone,


I'm having trouble with a fill-out form to CGI. I did the tutorial on

http://www.enetserve.com/tutorials/checkboxestutorial.html (Flash Academy)

to create my radio buttons. When I click a radio button, the others unclick

and that part of it works fine. But I am having trouble with the variable

part.


The tutorial has you name your variables "radio 1",  "radio2", "radio3",

etc. But it doesn't seem to match up with the way radio buttons work in

HTML.



On (Release)

Go to Next Frame

Set Variable: "..:Radio1" = "on"

Comment: **** For Radio Button 2 *****

Begin Tell Target ("/Radio2")

Go to and Stop (1)

End Tell Target

Set Variable: "..:Radio2" = "off"

Comment: **** For Radio Button 3 *****

Begin Tell Target ("/Radio3")

Go to and Stop (1)

End Tell Target

Set Variable: "..:Radio3" = "off"

End On




Maybe I'm totally missing the point, but can anyone recommend another Flash

radio button tutorial or point me in the right direction? My understanding

of radio buttons in html, is that all four buttons have the same names but

different values. How can I accompish this is my Flash actions?


I was able to limp along to make the text part of the form, but this has me

totally baffled. Any help or advice would be greatly tresured and

appreciated!!!


much thanks!
