I’m sorry for being such a n00b question,

But how do I get the flash file to recognise the value of each radio button?

I’m using these variables:

[For a menu to chose the difficulty of the game]

> 

data = easy  
groupName = difficulty  
label = Easy  
labelplacement = Right  
selected = false

Instance name = easy

data = medium  
groupName = difficulty  
label = Medium  
labelplacement = Right  
selected = false

Instance name = medium

data = hard  
groupName = difficulty  
label = Hard  
labelplacement = Right  
selected = false

Instance name = hard

Thats one menu line, the buttons work, as in if you select one and change it, they change correctly, but I dont know how I can code it to get the right values.

What I want to do, is to get the player to chose a difficulty to give a \_global. variable which I can then use throughout the program so I can refer to it, and change other values in the game using this value.

Will I also need some sort of button that saves the data within the program temporalily, or will it be fine just with a back button?
