Erratic radio button components

I think I posted this in the wrong forum earlier.
In Flash 8, I have 7 instances of a radio button component on
my stage. In the Radio Button Assets, I had previously replaced the
icons for the RadioTrueUp and RadioFalseUp states. (I deleted the
other states thinking I only need "up" and "down" for my Radio
project.) Now when I test the movie, I click on any radio button
and it rapidly turns itself on and off as long as the cursor hovers
over it, and returns to the up state thereafter, having failed to
affect any other radio buttons on the stage. Except that every so
often, one WILL work right just once. (staying down while popping
the current down button up, mean.) Then many button clicks later,
one of the others will work. I cant figure this out!
Since I only changed the icons, I don't understand why they
don't work just as they did in "stock" form.
Any ideas here?

You need to keep ALL of the icons that are there.
The rapid on and off that you are experiencing is the radio
button attempting to switch to the "over" state when you roll over
it. Since there is no over state icon, nothing appears, and the
component registers a roll out, bringing the "up" state back into
visibility. Then the whole thing loops again.
If you want the different icons to look the same, you need to
change them all to look the same.

Partially rendered radio button components

I've been using the radio button component for the first time
- it works a treat! However, when they are initially rendered on
screen the labels are slightly cropped from the right and below
(this is with the label to the right of the button). The button
itself is also displaced upwards slightly. When the mouse runs over
the button it immediately renders correctly.
In every other respect the buttons function correctly. Any
ideas?

No, I don't know any tutorials. I do not try to create components... just objects that perform like them to the degree I need them to. I pretty much just design the radio itself as a movieclip that has the different states in different frames (unselected, selected, disabled) and create actionscript to manage moving around within it as well as parent level code to manage groups of them such that selecting one deselects others and stuff.

I need to reset, clear or deselect a group of radio buttons

I haven't been able to find the answer to this: I have a quiz-like animation that uses a group of radio buttons, I need the group to reset, clear or deselect the previous selection after submitting the answer on each question, is that possible?
Here is the code:
stop();
var messageBox:TextField = new TextField();
messageBox.text = "";
addChild(messageBox);
messageBox.textColor = 0xFF0000;
messageBox.width = 200;
messageBox.height =100;
messageBox.x = 450;
messageBox.y = 340;
var userAnswer:int;
var rbg:Object = rbA.group;
var finalScore:int;
btnCheck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextBtn);
function nextBtn(evt:MouseEvent):void {
userAnswer = int(rbg.selectedData);
if(userAnswer == 0) {messageBox.text = "PLEASE SELECT AN OPTION";
}else{
finalScore = finalScore + userAnswer;
messageBox.text = "";
nextFrame();
btnFinish.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, finishBtn);
function finishBtn (evt:MouseEvent):void {
userAnswer = int(rbg.selectedData);
if(userAnswer == 0) {messageBox.text = "PLEASE SELECT AN OPTION";
}else{
finalScore = finalScore + userAnswer;
if (finalScore > 13){ gotoAndStop(8);
}else if (finalScore > 9){ gotoAndStop(7);
}else if (finalScore > 4){ gotoAndStop(6);
}else {}
startOver.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reStart);
function reStart(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1);
finalScore = 0;

I'm all ears on this one because I checked into this the first time I saw this posting back whenever and couldn't find the solution. And now I built something that tries to make it happen, and it doesn't. In the AS3 help docs it doesn't say gets or sets, whereas in the AS2 docs it goes on about doing such things with that property... so maybe they changed the compnent for AS3?
Here's what I concocted building off a help docs example. rb3 and rb4 are basically there just to reset rb1 and rb2:
import fl.controls.RadioButton;
import fl.controls.RadioButtonGroup;
var rbg1:RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup("group1");
var rbg2:RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup("group2");
var rb1:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
var rb2:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
var rb3:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
var rb4:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
rb1.group = rbg1;
rb2.group = rbg1;
rb3.group = rbg2;
rb4.group = rbg2;
rb1.move(10,10);
rb2.move(10,50);
rb3.move(150,10);
rb4.move(150,50);
addChild(rb1);
addChild(rb2);
addChild(rb3);
addChild(rb4);
function resetGroup1(evt:MouseEvent){
rbg1.selection.selected = false;
rb1.selected = false;
rb2.selected = false;
rb3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resetGroup1);
rb4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resetGroup1);
I rarely use radio buttons components. If I need them, I usually create my own using movieclips. If you go this route then you'll be able to decide what they can do, you just need to create the functions for controlling their behavior as a group..

Funky radio buttons... help?

Hey - I'm having some trouble with my radio button
components. The problem is that the text lables for the buttons are
displaying wrong (clipped at bottom and/or right side) until you
mouse over them. After that, they correct themselves and they are
fine... any idea why they're doing this or how I can fix it...?
To see the bit that's messing up, you can go to....
www.masseymoderndesign.com and click the "Team" tab, and then
the "contact" sub tab.
thanks!!

GrayMan helped me out on this one already

Multiline labels in the radio button component

How can I have multiline labels on my radio button
components? I can't seem to find good documentation anywhere on how
to do this. This is the best that I have found:
http://board.flashkit.com/board/archive/index.php/t-299514.html
but the process doesn't work for me with Flash CS3.
Thanks,
nixxxxx

Unfortunately seems like you cant do that with radio component. You may just create a textField and place it next to the radio component as a workaround, or, use AS3 which is much easier.

Get the row of a department in a popup using a radio button

I have a use case. A page will be displayed with a button. User will click on that button, and then a popup will be displayed showing the table of departments. User will select the desired radio button. After that, the popup will close and the list of employees should get displayed in the page.
I have written a method in the valuechangeevent property of the radio button (autosubmit is also set as true), but still I am not able to get the current row. I actually need the value of departmentid.
Can anyone guide me?
    public void onClickRadio(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
        // Add event code here...
        System.out.println("onClickRadio Begins");
        hidePopup("p1");
        DCBindingContainer bc =
            (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
        DCIteratorBinding iter =
            bc.findIteratorBinding("DepartmentsView1Iterator");
        Row row = iter.getCurrentRow();
        Number departmentId = (Number)row.getAttribute("DepartmentId");
        System.out.println("departmentId: " + departmentId);
        OperationBinding method =
            (OperationBinding)bc.get("displayEmployeeTable");
        method.getParamsMap().put("departmentId", departmentId);
        method.execute();
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(empTable);
        System.out.println("onClickRadio Ends");
    }JDev 11.1.1.6

This is the code of the popup.
        <af:popup id="p1" contentDelivery="lazyUncached">
          <af:dialog id="d2" type="none">
            <af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}"

How to realize Checkbox and Radio Buttons based on Attributes in JHeadstart

Hy@ all,
I try to redevelop the Summit Forms Demo in ADF.
The module "ORDER" contains, among other things, a checkbox and radio buttons based on database columns(VARCHAR2).
The column(checkbox) named PAYMENT_TYPE contains the values CASH and CREDIT and the column(radio button) called ORDER_FILLED contains the values Y and N.
After creating the business components, I set in JHeadstarts Application Definition the Display Type of these two attributes to checkBox and radio-horizontal.
I created a dymanic domain for the radio-horizontal and a static domain for the checkBox.
The radio-horizontal within the dymanic domain works nearly correct.
I set the Data Collection in this dynamic domain to the required Group and the Value and Meaning Attribute to the necessary Attribute.
Within the JSF- Page the values are shown right but unfortunately there are too many radio buttons available. Instead of displaying the two radio buttons CASH and CREDIT were many CASH and CREDIT radio buttons shown.
I can´t find any solution for this case.
The problem with the checkBox is that therfore a static domain is required but I want to show the value of the checkBox based on the described attribute, like the handling of the radio horizontal.
But I don´t know how to implement this, if it is possible.
I´m using JHeadstart v10.1.3.2 and I´m pleased about any reply or solution.
Best regards
Chris

Chris,
If you run the application module tester, and query the view object usage underlying your dynamic domain, how many rows does it return? It should return only two rows, one for CASH and one for CREDIT. If more than two rows are returned, your query is wrong.
What is the problem with using a static domain for the checkbox?

How can we have a column having text and radio button in the same line?

Hi,
I have a column which needs to have data with a radio button. Was able to achieve this by using <trh:tableLayout>. But when i select the radio button it shifts to the next line. Want to stop this behavior of radio button of shifting to the next line. This column also includes a hyperlink.So the text and hyperlink are made visible invisible based on radio button action.
Adding one more doubt. Can a particular columns horizontalgrid can be made invisible?
Any help would be appreciated.
sample code:
<trh:cellFormat id="cf8" halign="start">
<af:activeOutputText value="#{row.Actions}" id="aot2"/>
<af:goLink text="#{row.Actions}" id="gl1"
clientComponent="true" visible="false"
targetFrame="_blank" destination="http:// + #{row.BUTTON_URL}">
</af:goLink>
<af:selectBooleanRadio text="" id="sbr1">
<af:clientListener method="selectCheckBox" type="click"/>
</af:selectBooleanRadio>
</trh:cellFormat>
Thanks,
Nita

Remove the <trh:> components. Put the other components as direct children of the PanelGroupLayout:
<af:column id="c2" headerText="Actions">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl6" layout="horizontal">
    <af:activeOutputText value="#{row.Actions}" id="aot2"/>
    <af:goLink text="#{row.Actions}" id="gl1"
               clientComponent="true" visible="false"
               targetFrame="_blank" destination="http:// + #{row.BUTTON_URL}">
    </af:goLink>
    <af:selectBooleanRadio text="" id="sbr1">
      <af:clientListener method="selectCheckBox" type="click"/>
    </af:selectBooleanRadio>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:column>If you need to add some horizontan space between the components, you can put <af:spacer>(s) between the components.

Radio Button and Check Box

I am looking for a way to implement a column domain as a radio button (e.g. Yes or No). So far I have only seen JHeadstart generate a list box. I cannot find any reference to radio buttons in the User Guide. Is it possible to generate a radio button?

Jan,
I looked into this post-gen action, but am not able to insert a radio group and buttons.
In a simple emp-dept application I am trying to create radio buttons in empTablePage.uix for the extra emp_class column I added to the emp table. The UIX components palette only gives me the option to insert a radio set. I can only get the option for radio group when I change the application structure to JSP.
BTW: Jdev 9.0.5.2

How to change the colour of text property in Radio button?

Hello All,
I am having some radio buttons in my application. i want to change the colour of text property by default it is black.
Could any one please suggest me how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Currently you cannot, it is a known (and hopefully reported, and at least addressed for next version) bug (or limitation, as they rushed to get the components out before JavaOne...).
People reported they just put an empty text and put a label beside the component. Ugly workaround (bad when the component will be complete) but if it works... :-)

Changing The Text Color In a Radio Button Component

Hi,
I'm using a background in my frame , so I need to know how
to change the color of the Radio Button Component. I tried using
the Property Inspector , but in that the color option is disabled.
The Flash version I'm using is Flash 8. Kindly provide me a
solution for this.
Thanks In Advance,
Lokesh R

There's a topic about this in the Flash help, about changing
components. You need to edit the file inside your Flash
installation folder, and make a copy of it to your liking.
But about radio buttons: is there any way to include them in
your project while maintaining the possibility of on(Keypress)
events?

Flash 8 UI Component: Radio Button

Hi:
May someone kindly guide me how to bind a radio button to a
text area? Perhaps without using action script.
What's the trick of binding the Radio Button in Flash 8 as
the attempt to bing ComboBox or some other UI components has no
problem at all; but only the Radion Button.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response.
After i posted I kept digging and found where the code is
that sets the font for the Radio buttons in the quizzes when you do
an export to flash. What I found out is listed below in case anyone
else ever needs the information- hopefully it will save someone
else some time.
The ".as" file is --
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Local
Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
8\en\Configuration\Classes\AdobeCaptivate\quiz\CpMultipleChoice.as
Strating at line 106 there is the following code
p._font.name = "Arial";
p._font.size = 12;
p._name = "" + numAnswers;
I was then able to make the font size larger to match the
other text on the screen (i do have to say it's rather annoying
that those attributes don't get exported from the captivate file,
because i set the font properties before exporting - but i guess
there is probably a reason for that)
