What does "and so on" mean? What should happen if it's clicked a third time?

it should toggle between different characters i want...

like if i have 10 different characters.. then it should toggle between 10 of them.. while clicking on them.

Like on first click 1st character , second click 2nd character.. .till 10th and after that blank and again.... 1st character..

Thank you Mr. George... this is exactly what i want... but i don't want so many fields to accomplish it...

I just want a text field or action button in which i can code a certain javascript to do it... bcoz i have atleast 500 checkboxes .. it will be very time taking .. if i follow. your method.... or show/hide field method.

It's possible to make it simpler using just buttons for each fake checkbox, but I don't have a demonstration of that. The basics of the coding is in the sample though. To create that many buttons and set them up with a script, I'd use JavaScript to create the buttons and set up the script in the Mouse Up event, like you see in that sample. Have you done much scripting in Acrobat?
