Question

I’ve a problem with the radiobuttons because when I delete the instance from the stage where the radiobuttons are, if I create again the instance the radiobuttons keeps the last selection.

( I’ve written the class in spanish, if you’ve problems to identify the concept, please ask me )

Class ( crearPregunta.as or askQuestion.as )

package src.com.akkadian

{

import fl.controls.RadioButtonGroup;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.xml.*;
import src.com.akkadian.manipularXML;

public class crearPregunta extends MovieClip
{

    private static var _instance:crearPregunta = null;

    private var xmlPath:String;
    private var radioGroup1:RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup("Questions");
    private var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    private var instanciaXML:manipularXML;
    protected var time:Timer;
    private var rs:String;
    private var resp:XMLList;
    private var re:XMLList;
    private var pre:XMLList;
    private var opSeleccionada:Number;
    private var resultado:Boolean = false;

    public function crearPregunta()
    {


    }

    public static function getInstance():crearPregunta
    {

        if (_instance == null)
        {

            _instance = new crearPregunta();

        }

        return _instance;
    }

    private function generarContenido()
    {

        // Crea the XML instance from manipularXML class
        this.instanciaXML = manipularXML.generarInstancia();

        // Send the path of the file
        this.xmlPath = "src/com/akkadian/preguntas.xml";

        // Add the listener to proceed when the load is finished        
        xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, inXML);
        xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(this.xmlPath));

        // adding a listener to the button sendResponse
        enviarRespuesta.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, recibirRespuesta);
        enviarRespuesta.buttonMode = true;

    }

    public function validarRespuesta(opcionSeleccionada:String):Boolean
    {
        // Option chosen
        opSeleccionada = Number(opcionSeleccionada);

        // Generate the content
        generarContenido();

        // Send the result

    }

    private function inXML(e:Event):void

        // Add the radiobuttons to an Array
        var radios:Array = [casoA, casoB, casoC];

        // Obtain the data from the XML
        var data = instanciaXML.obtenerInfo(e.target.data);


        for each (var nodo:XML in data.pregunta)
        {

            if (nodo.@id == opSeleccionada)
            {
                // Keep the answer for the option chosen
                resp = data.pregunta[opSeleccionada - 1].respuesta;

                // Keep the value for the option chosen
                re = data.pregunta[opSeleccionada - 1].respuesta.@valor;

                // Keep the question
                pre = data.pregunta[opSeleccionada - 1].@pre

                // add the value of the question to the dinamic textfield
                question.text = pre;

                for (var u:uint = 0; u < radios.length; u++)
                {

                    radios[u].group = radioGroup1;
                    radios[u].textField.multiline = true;
                    radios[u].textField.wordWrap = true;
                    radios[u].textField.width = 230;
                    radios[u].textField.height = 100;
                    radios[u].textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;


                    // Add the answers to the labels
                    radios[u].label = resp[u];

                    // Add the answers to the values
                    radios[u].value = re[u];

                }

            }

        }
    }

    private function recibirRespuesta(m:MouseEvent)
    {

        for each (var tre:XML in re)
        {
            // if the value of the answer is equal to the value stored
            if (this.radioGroup1.selection.value == re)
            {
                // Save the result as true
                this.resultado = true;

                // Add the value of the answer to the textfield included on this Instance
                result_txt.text = "Correcto";
            }
            else
            {
                // Save the result as false
                this.resultado = false;

                // Add the value of the answer to the textfield included on this Instance
                result_txt.text = "Incorrecto";
            }
        }

        // Add a function to create a timer
        agregarTimer();

    }

    private function agregarTimer()
    {
        // Setup the timer
        time = new Timer(1000, 1);
        time.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, cerrarTimer);
        time.start();

    }

    private function cerrarTimer(t:TimerEvent)
    {
        // Just for information, I verify which are the instances that at present ran in the Main instance
        Main.Instancia.obtenerNombreHijos();

        // Remove the instance askQuestion from the Main
        Main.Instancia.removeChildAt(2);

        // I certify that the instance is deleted
        Main.Instancia.obtenerNombreHijos();

        // I change the instance of the xml class to null
        instanciaXML = null;


    }

}

}

Result: What is happening now?

1. The user run the trivia: first, select the start option ( the grid of options is created )
2. The user choose one option ( askQuestion instance is created )
3. When the user select the option from the radiobuttons ( the result is displayed on the result_txt.text )
4. The timer is executed
5. Remove the instance ( askQuestion ) from the Main class
6. IF the user select another option, the question and the answers are displayed correctly but, the radiobutton keep the option selected before and the result_txt.text shows the the result of this selection.. this is wrong because, no selection must be done.

I’ve another situation from this.. I’ve this:
static instance a ( here is created the instance c )
static instance b ( here the result of the operation. This instance will be removed when the result is obtained )
instance c ( result is display )
How can I do to send information from instance b to instance c inf the instance was created in instance a

Answer 1

I believe the problem is you’re re-using the same radio button group each time, but you don’t reset the selectedIndex or selectedValue of that radio button group. I believe this would fix the problem:

            radioGroup1.selectedIndex=-1;
            for (var u:uint = 0; u < radios.length; u++)
            {

                radios[u].group = radioGroup1;
                radios[u].textField.multiline = true;
                radios[u].textField.wordWrap = true;
                radios[u].textField.width = 230;
                radios[u].textField.height = 100;
                radios[u].textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;


                // Add the answers to the labels
                radios[u].label = resp[u];

                // Add the answers to the values
                radios[u].value = re[u];

            }
