RadioButtonGroup component

In the RadioButton documentation, it seems like the RadioButtonGroup appears magically simply by writing a name for it. I don't know how this works when placing the component on stage manually, but when creating the radio buttons dynamically in actionscript, the following can be used:

import mx.controls.RadioButton;
import mx.controls.RadioButtonGroup;

movieclip.createClassObject(RadioButtonGroup, "answerGroup", depthHere);

//create radio buttons:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < noOfButtons; i++){
var altLabel =getButonLabel();
var altID = getButonID();
movieclip.createClassObject(RadioButton, "alt" + i, movieClip.getNextHighestDepth(), {label:altLabel, data:altID, groupName:"answerGroup"});
movieclip["alt"+i].move(10, 15*i);
}
// Create listener object.
var rbListener:Object = new Object();
rbListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object){
trace("The selected radio button is " + evt_obj.target.label);
}

//Add listener to RadioButtonGroup which can now be referenced:
movieclip.answerGroup.addEventListener("click", rbListener);

This also works for the radio buttons manually placed in the fla file.
