[RESOLVED] [F8] Radio Buttons for fake poll

I don’t think this is hard, but I’m not finding any tutorials or models I could get coding and syntax from.

I want to make a fake webpoll, 1 question with five choices on radio buttons and a vote button. If the user chooses radio button 1 or 2, the vote button sends them to a webpage. (radiobutton data is “gogoth”) If they’ve chosen 3, 4, or 5 they are sent to a different webpage. (data is “needhint”)

I gather I’ll need a listening object but don’t know where or how to set it up.
I know the data on the radio buttons is important, but I don’t know what it’s called in code, how to “get at it.”
I know I’ve got a fairly simple if code to make for the vote button. I think I can handle that once I know the rest.

open a new file
drag a RadioButton component into the Library
add a button - instance name - vote_button
add this code to the main timeline
publish and test in the browser

PHP Code:

---

for(var n=1;n!=6;n++){
objRB = {_x:50 ,_y:n*20+50, label:" choice "+n, data:n, groupName:"poll"};
this.attachMovie("RadioButton", "rb"+n, n, objRB);
}

var rbL:Object = new Object(); 
rbL.click = function(obj:Object){
num =  obj.target.selection.data;

switch(num){
case 1: choice = "gogoth.html"; break;
case 2: choice = "gogoth.html"; break;
case 3: choice = "needhint.html"; break;
case 4: choice = "needhint.html"; break;
case 5: choice = "needhint.html"; break;
}
}; 

poll.addEventListener("click", rbL); 

vote_button.onRelease = function(){
trace(choice);
getURL(choice, "_blank");
};

hope this helps you on your way :)

Okay, I almost get it. We're building the radio buttons in the framescript rather than building them on the stage. Works beautifully. So far so good.

Now can you tell me how I would assign different labels that are whole lines of text?
e.g. "Political opponents" "Maroni Crime Family" and so on.

add labels to an array, and set them to the radiobuttons within the object

PHP Code:

---

aLabels = ["Political opponents", "Maroni Crime Family","blah","blah","blah"];

for(var n=1;n!=6;n++){ 
objRB = {_x:50 ,_y:n*20+50, label:aLabels[n-1], data:n, groupName:"poll"}; 
this.attachMovie("RadioButton", "rb"+n, n, objRB); 
}

You're amazing, AMD. Thank you so much. Hope one day I can return the favor.
