setting property of duplicated component?

[bape]

hi there, ive got a radiobutton component on my stage named radio1.
I need to duplicate it and then change a few properties, but i cant seem to get the path/naming right. This is my code:


i=2;
radio1.duplicateMovieClip("radio"+i, radio1.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:20, _y:20});
_root["radio"+i].setLabel("test");
i++

if i use a constant name instead of "radio"+i it works but the ["radio"+i] seems to be the problem, could someone help me with this? (using flash mx)

shouldnt it be:
i=2;
duplicateMovieClip(radio1,"radio"+i, radio1.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:20, _y:20});
_root["radio"+i].setLabel("test");
i++?? try that an lemme know (im usin FMX so mite b slightly diff in FMX2004.... for instance i dont have the getNextHighestDepth() function :( )

It still doesnt work, as i said, duplication works (a duplicate of the instance in question appears) only setting the property is failing..

Radiobutton doesnt have a setLabel() method;

use
RadioButtonInstanceName.label = "some Text";

Radiobutton doesnt have a setLabel() method;

use
RadioButtonInstanceName.label = "some Text"; nope, not working either
