Hi Flashcoders,
Can anyone give any insight on how to make a group of 5 radio button
components tab enabled? That is each individual Radio Button can have its
focus set by using the Tab key? The default behavior allows for the radio
button group to receive focus and then the Up and Down arrow
class com.ArrayExtension extends Array
{
public function ArrayExtension()
{
super()
var argString = arguments[0].split(",");
for(var i=0; i< argString.length; i++)
push(argString[i]);
}
}
Usage:
var arEx = new ArrayExtension("one,two,three");
trace(ar
You could also do:
var myArray:ArrayExtension = new ArrayExtension();
myArray.push("Hello", "Goodbye", "World");
same result as doing them separately.

Your problem is that the [1,2,3] initialiser syntax is actually a
