Hi,

Real fast question. In a form, does the uncheckedness or checkedness of a checkbox output as like, 'true' and 'false'? Or what does it output? Thanks

Hi nonybd,

Yes, that's exactly what it does. Standard Flash UI components also
have a "data" property associated so that you can retrieve some
associated information. For example, a checkbox that says, "I agree" may
have the data property set to "agreedfull". A secondary checkbox may be
"I agree but only on part 1" and this may have the data "agreed1".
Usually you only ever need to check the boolean property but this data
value is included to make it just that much more useful.
