FLASH AS3: How do I convert an object to a string?

I have created a group of radio buttons. Each button has a different '.value'.

I want to copy the selected .value (held in group.selectedData) into another variable. I have:

var myvar:String;
trace (ARadioButton.group.selectedData);
myvar=ARadioButton.group.selectedData;

but I get the error 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type String.

The trace outputs the string as expected.

Thanks!

yeah I ran into that inconsistency too. I guess trace calls toString() for you if it needs to or something. which is not normally how those things work.

use .toString();
