radio button component

[j0s3]

i have a couple of radio buttons in a scene

when i select radio button a, i want to move the playhead to frame "a"; when i select radio button b i want to move the playhead to frame "b";

radio buttons:
changehandler: radioButtSelected

on frame 1 i have the following code:

function radioButtSelected(obj) {

if(obj.getSelectedItem().label=="a"){
gotoAndStop("a");
}
if(obj.getSelectedItem().label=="b"){
gotoAndStop("b");
}
}

i used the above code succcessfully with a dropdown menu, and i was hoping it'd work with the radio buttons. i've tried using data instead of label but i'm getting nowhere.

any help is very welcome

cheers

Try this
For radio buttons in the properties panel they have something called a group name. All the radio buttons that are choices to a particular question would all have the same group name. So lets say I have 5 radio buttons that are all possible answers to the question:

What color is the White House?

1)Red
2)Blue
3)White
4)I am a moron
5)Off White/Baige

So let's say we named our "group name" whiteHouseGroup. (ok, here comes the code)

The folowing code will get the data for whichever box is checked:

whiteHouseGroup.getData();

So if radio button #4 is checked whiteHouseGroup.getData(); would return 4 (or whatever you put to be in the data field in the properties panel)

So now we fix your code a bit to fit the new code:

function radioButtSelected() {
gotoAndStop(whiteHouseGroup.getData());
}

That should do the trick and be much easier to write.
Good luck I hope this helped.

that was very well written, and the neat code made something click in my head (the way you fished out the data in the 'goto' line)

i really appreciate that

I'm glad it worked out for you.
