create checkboxes dynamically

[veiky]

HI,

I am trying to create checkboxes dynamically.
I want the checkboxes one below the other, how can i do this?

I have tried this.. but it comes at the same position.


import mx.controls.CheckBox;
for(var i:Number=0; i<=5; i++);
{
createClassObject(CheckBox, "cb", i+20, {label:"Check Me"+i});
}


Thanks...

Try this. Have a play with value of height_num depending on how far apart you want them to be:



import mx.controls.CheckBox;

var height_num:Number = 25;

for(var i:Number=0; i<=5; i++);
{
createClassObject(CheckBox, "cb", i+20, {label:"Check Me"+i, _x: 0, _y: (i * height_num)});
}

Thanks Alissa,

But I think all the check boxes are coming at same position.
I can see only one check box.

Any solution?

Apologies, I just copied and modified your code without actually looking at it properly.

2 things for you to do:


for(var i:Number=0; i<=5; i++); //remove the ; from the end of this line
for(var i:Number=0; i<=5; i++) //should be like this



createClassObject(CheckBox, "cb", i+20, {label:"Check Me"+i, _x: 0, _y: (i * height_num)}); //give each instance of the object a unique instance name
createClassObject(CheckBox, "cb" + i, i+20, {label:"Check Me"+i, _x: 0, _y: (i * height_num)}); //like this

import mx.controls.CheckBox;

var height_num:Number = 25;

for(var i:Number=0; i<=5; i++)
{
createClassObject(CheckBox, "cb" + i, i+20, {label:"Check Me"+i, _x: 0, _y: (i * height_num)}); //like this
}

This worked.....

Thanks...
