I am under a tight deadline. Friday Aug.22!!! I am trying to store the value of a radio button (in a group for yes/no) when a 'Next" button is pressed. I have a nextBtn.addEventListener(…) to contain a function which holds code to store the value of each radio button on the page into its own SharedObject. As such:  
\_so.data.DrugName1 = DrugName1.selected;

I do not know the AS3.0 code to get the value of the selected radio button in a grouping and then to use that value and store it into the SharedObject \_so.data I have been banging my head for days. I fear I keep trying to use AS2 code for an AS3 project. AAAAAhhhhhhhh!

Can someone please help me determine the value or data of a radio button or radio button group. Is it “selected” or “selectedData” or “getValue()” or “value” or “data” or what ??? I don’t know where else to turn. ☹
