How to make a picture a radio button?

Question

I am trying to create a drag and drop game using Adobe Flash, AS3. I have a 'select gender' page where I have both a male a female model. I want users to be able to select either the male or female image but then a next button in order to take to the following page; however the following page varies depending on what gender is selected.
Am I able to do this or would I need to change the images to radio buttons or just remove the next button so the images are buttons?
Please help with my dilema?!

Answer 1

in this case:
function maleHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{
     //do male stuff
    var mPage:MaleDragAndDropTopsPage = new MaleDragAndDropTopsPage();
    addChild(mPage);
if you absolutely must have a nextButton, you can either go for two different instances of the Button which you call
maleButton or femaleButton and attach the handlers to these
when clicking on the male/femaleFigure
you will somehow have to store their state in a dynamic property or variable (which ever ypu prefer).
so at the beginning
maleModel.clicked = false;
femaleModel.clicked = false;
both will need an extra clickHandler that sets their clicked properties.
The much easier and imo more userfriendly way would be to use the figures as buttons themselves.
