Check Boxes

[Avitar]

I am new to components in Flash. I haVe a check box that if clicked will send the user to a new frame. My first question is if I need to create a form? If I don't how do I code? Please Help!!!! This what I think ot would be.

on (release) {
if(checkbox.getValue() == true) {
gotoAndStop("1");
}
}

The Flash components have a Change Handler field in their Properties box. You can provide a function name in this field and then implement that function. For example, if the Change Handler field is set to: checkChanged you can implement the following:

function checkChanged()
{
// Invoked when user changes check box
// -------------------------------------
trace("check box changed");
}

I see the output and it is getting me on the right track, but if I take out the tace and add if checkbox.changed==true
gotoandstop("W1"). Nothing happens. I am closer but still lost.

Howdy and Welcome... :)

Just to let you know... You are opening a jar full of warms by using gotoAndStop("1"); line... You should use a frame label that's starting with a string like 'lable1' or 'someLable" to avoid that problem... ;)

I just tried it and it works fine...

I will post the sample at the following link for a few days:
