Hi there,
Since the radio buttons are children of custom components, they don't
live in the same scope as each other. To overcome this and have the
RadioButtons behave as a group:
* Place a RadioButtonGroup in the main class: <mx:RadioButtonGroup
id="myRadioButtonGroup"/>
* Use something like this to group the RadioButtons: <mx:RadioButton
groupName="parentDocument.myRadioButtonGroup"/>
RadioButton extends button, so the click event will be dispatched. For
a RadioButtonGroup, the itemClickEvent is dispatched.
