[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]How to retain the radio button or checkbox state?[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I have a test that I made for work. What I would like to do is make my radio button or my checkbox state hold true when I hit the back button.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Right now I have 40 question and answer with checkboxes and radio buttons. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’m using the flash quiz Component Inspector tool. I know it’s not the best way to go, but this is my first time making a test for work. Once I learn the basic I will move on to better test.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]OK back to the problem at hand. As soon as I move forward to the next frame everything works great. But when I move back the radio button or checkbox state is not like I set it before I move on. It is set back to its null value which mean I just lost that data input in that frame. Well like I said I have 40 Q&A’s so going back and not having that checkbox or radio stay true is not good for the user.
