I am creating a Noughts and Crosses game with radio buttons, 9 buttons and 9 dynamic text boxes. The code below is on a button that when a player clicks on that button it is suppose to display whichever radio button is selected and the problem is that it displays 0 even when X is selected. See the comments in the code for more information.

```auto

on(release) {
                // checking radio button X is selected
	if (X_rb.getValue()==true) {
                                // displaying X in a text box
		lbl1 = "X";
                                // disabling button after been clicked on
		Button1.enabled = false;
                // if radio button X isn't selected then 0 must be
	} else {
                                // displaying 0 in a text box
		lbl1 = "0";
                                // disabling button after been clicked on
		Button1.enabled = false;
	}
}

```

did you trace(X\_rb.getValue()); ?  
also, move  
Button1.enabled = false;  
out of the if(){}else(){} to here  
coz it’s executed anyway,  
no need to have it twice…  
and in MX, you should use  
lbl1.text = “X”;  
//not variable, but textfield instance name
