Let me explain what is going on here and why it has been done this way. Let's say you've got a MXML Component called myChoice. It contains three RadioButtons, called rA, rB, & rC. You assign each of these a groupName called myGroup. It also has a member variable called dataProvider. The way that you use this component is that you set the dataProvider property, which then sets the label and data properties of each of your three RadioButtons.
Now in your main application, you instantiate three of these myChoice components, called cA, cB, & cC. In this application, would you expect all nine RadioButton be part of a single group called myGroup? No, you'd expect that there would be three groups and that the RadioButtons within each component are only a part of the internal group of the component. The same thing with the dataProvider property. You wouldn't expect that this property would be shared among all three components. What is happening under the covers is that a RadioButtonGroup with the id "myGroup" is created as a member variable of the myChoice component. So in short, radio buttons can only share a RadioButtonGroup if they are within the same class. (Remember that each MXML file is its own class.)
