Question on Radio Buttons

[Phil Davis]

Hi Fred -

If you just want to put the into the global, try this:

on mouseUp -- in the radio button group
   global gQuestion1
   put the hilitedButtonName of me into gQuestion1
end mouseUp

Then your original 'button script' below should work fine.


If you want to score each answer as you go, you could do this:
- set the name of each radio button to either "correct" or "wrong"
- set the label of each button to its answer text
- make your script do this:

on mouseUp -- in the radio button group
   global gQuestion1
   put the hilitedButtonName of me & cr \
     & the label of the target into gQuestion1
end mouseUp

This would put a 2-line response into gQuestion1.
- line 1 = 'correct' or 'wrong'
- line 2 = the answer they selected

There are also other ways to accomplish this or just about anything else 
you want to do.

Food for thought...
