I am creating a series of radio buttons based on the number of results coming from a database via remoting by doing a duplicate movie clip on the one radio button component called “radd” on my stage. The problem I am having is that the radio button will not let me have more characters than the original “Radio Button” - it just cuts off the rest of the text. Also - I would like to make the labels multilined. Any ideas?

make the original as large as you need to make it to accomodate changes in the rest.

or use the setsize() function.

Iammontoya - You are the man!! I had to set the setSize to all of them within the duplicates… thank you. Do you have any ideas for the multiline issue?
