Hi all,

I have an annoying problem that requires a simple solution. I need a radio button to do the following function when clicked;

on(click) {  
trace(“hello”);  
NewCharity = “Focus”;  
}

The trace function works fine but the word “Focus” is not printed into the dynamic text box named “NewCharity”. I cannot figure out why and can’t find a simple solution to it.

A good example of what I need can be seen working in WebWasp at : “[http://www.webwasp.co.uk/tutorials/c04-radio-active/index.php](http://www.webwasp.co.uk/tutorials/c04-radio-active/index.php)”

Any help would me of much assistance…
