add variable as id name - flex

I've got a little question answer app that I've created. Everything is working fine but now I'm trying to make the quiz more dynamic by loading and uploading different quizzes from a database.

I seem to have almost everything working fine but I've ran into a bit of a problem converting my answer check function from static to dynamic data.

Here's a bit of my code.

    if (b1.selected != true) {
        q1a.styleName = "incorrect";
        q1a.text = incorrect + b1.value;
        score = score -1;
   }

Like a said this seemed to work fine with static content just checking if the radio button was selected or not.

I need to replace - b1.selected with my database variable in this case its pertestq1a.

pertestq1a currently equals b1.

How can I add my variable to this if statement to be recognized as an element id?

Hum I do not write AS3 code anymore but as far as I remember, and if I well understand your database structure (I guess you store the name as a sting) this could help you :

Let: pertestq1a = "b1" you can use the following to retrieve the corresponding display object.

getChildByName(pertestq1a)

So you can use "selected" method this way I guess: 

getChildByName(pertestq1a).selected

Indeed, you need to specify a usable "instance name" on the object(s) to use it.

Try to use the following:

this[pertestq1a].selected
