Being a designer and a very green actionscripter, I am now trying to tackle forms in Flash, thus I am TRYING to learn about components. Although it is nifty to be able to drag and drop components the actual scripting for them seems to be a real challenge. I wish there were more simple examples although I have seen a ton of tutorials with .fla files, I am still lost.

What I have is a form that has check boxes and radio buttons. Clicking the radio buttons and/or checkboxes needs to change a price total (its an order form) in a dynamic text box. BUT I want the functions to happen as you click each item NOT with a submit button. Then, after the user is done with the form options, I need a submit button.

Question 2 - I want the same radio buttons to control another MC (example: on click of radio button with otherMC go to and play.)

I have named all the radio groups and I have named all the component instances, but I need some example code…I know I could never write it out myself!

Once I get one to work I can get the whole form to work…I think

THANKS A TON IF YOU CAN HELP ME!
