Can anyone help me with the Actionscript for having a checkbox when CHECKED it allows certain input text fields to be enabled, and when UNCHECKED they are disabled?

I am making a Shipping/Billing application and want it to have a checkbox so if they information is the same as the previous they can check the box and disable the fields.

Correct answer Ned Murphy
Sorry, I wasn't thinking, Try:

function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
inputtext.selectable = !event.target.selected;
}

Though it should have been selectable until you checked the checkbox since nothing set it false ahead of that.

Unless this has changed for textfields between AS2 and AS3, you can also set the selectable property as true/false to enable/disable access.

assign your textfield's type property to be TextFieldType.DYNAMIC and TextFieldType.INPUT when you want to disable and enable it, resp.
