Creating a simple multiple-choice quiz using the RadioButton and RadioButtonGroup controls
The following example shows how you can make a very simple multiple-choice type quiz using the RadioButton and RadioButtonGroup controls. Each time you make an incorrect choice and click the check answers button, the selected (incorrect) choice is removed from the Flex application. If you select the correct answer and click the check answers button, all the incorrect answers are removed.
Full code after the jump.
