FLASH AS3: How do I reference an instance on the stage from an ActionScript file?

I have created 4 radio buttons on the stage, each with a different name.

How do I reference these from an external .as file?

I get:
1120: Access of undefined property Radio1.
1120: Access of undefined property MouseEvent.

I have:

package
{
public class Setup
{
public static var Shown:Boolean = false;
function ShowFinished() {
trace ("Got here.");
}
public function Setup() {
Radio1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ShowFinished);
}
}
}

did you convert the buttons to symbols?

Asker's Rating:

• No, I thought that wasn't necessary since I had already created instances of the buttons, but I see now that by converting to a symbol you can reference it from another class. Boy, that's odd.
