I saw this post over at Remote Synthesis
on selecting radio buttons in flash forms.  I just finished a site
which makes use of the cf flash forms very extensivly, including a
multi step signup system that uses the accordian tool to seperate
sections, but that a user cant move back and forth through by clicking
on the tabs.

Anyway, the post centers around the need to select a
radio based on the data returned from a remoting call.  I wont get
into using remoting with flash forms because the gang over at AS Fusion
has done a great job with that. However I will post the code to access
the data from the results returned from a query as I had to sort it out
this week and it was not all that intuitive for me.

What
you need is in the onResult of your remoting call, you get the results
parameter as a query returned from CF (or whatever service you
called).  When assigning that to a datagrid or select which use a
dataProvider to keep things strait its very easy to do.  

dataGridName.dataProvider = results;

Which
let me to believe this was a straight forward thing.  Like perhaps
my query was actually contained directly in side results.  Well
that was not the case for me.  What I found is that in action
script the query is returned as an array, so you have to acess the row
which has your data and then pull out your field.  In my instance
the database field was "status" so my code to select a radio button
from a flash remoting call from ColdFusion looked like this:

_root.status.selectedData = results.getItemAt(0).status;

I hope that this can help someone else maybe not have to got through the problems that I had trying to sort that out.
