Radio button and check box components come with Flash MX. Would it be easier to use them instead of writing my own code?
A1:
In many cases, yes. But you can customize your own code in ways that the components cannot. Plus, you have more control over how your movie looks and how it performs .
Q2:
How can I have more than one group of radio buttons on the screen at the same time?
A2:
You could simply place all the radio buttons in a group together in their own movie clip. If you do that, you'll need to refer to the movie clip to use the getValue function: group1.myRadioButton.getValue() .
Q3:
Is there a way to restrict user input to only upper- or lowercase letters ?
A3:
No, but you can use String.toUpperCase or String.toLowerCase to convert the results of their input when they are finished.
