CheckBox Component

Hi all,

My CheckBox component (instance name: "chkSubscribe") is not returning a correct value when I use the trace function. This is the actionscript I'm using:

if (chkSubscribe.getValue()) {
            myData.WishtoReceive = "yes";
        } else {
            myData.WishtoReceive = "no";
        }

The check box is set to true but, no matter whether the box is clicked on or off, the trace function always returns the "yes" value.

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Since a CheckBox only has two states, and one property to reflect that, maybe you should just use that...

if(chkSubscribe.selected){

     etc...

I don't see a trace call and I'm not aware of a getValue() method associated with the CheckBox component.  What do you get if you try tracing chkSubscribe.getValue() ?

Hi Ned, thanks for the reply.

I just tried your script and the trace result was "undefined"

This is what I had been using:

trace("Newsletter: " + myData.WishtoReceive);
