check box component

[vulvair]

I would like this code to be carried out when a person clicks on a checkbox

_root.info[1] = "DJ SHelter http://www.vulvair.co.uk/ryo \n";

and when a person reclicks (ie unchecks it)

_root.info[1] = "";

Thanks

Define you Click handler, and in that function use an if statement that checked the value of the check box.

function isChecked (){
	if (_root.mybox.getValue() == true) {
		trace("yup");
	}else {
		trace("nope");
	}
}

you'd put whatever you want to have happen if it is true in the if state brackets and then whatever happens when it is not checked in the else brackets.


Hope that helps.

To do this, you will need to create a change handler for your checkbox. First you need to create a function. I usually put functions on the first frame of the timeline where my component is. Here is the code that you will need for your function.

function checkBoxChange()
{
isChecked = myCheckBox.getValue();
if(isChecked == 1 || isChecked == TRUE)
{
_root.info[1] = "DJ SHelter http://www.vulvair.co.uk/ryo \n";
}
else
{
_root.info[1] = "";
}

You will then need to give your check box an instance name of "myCheckBox" or change "myCheckBox" in the code to what ever you name it. Lastly you need to set your change handler on your Check Box to checkBoxChange. Hope this helps! Any question's, e-mail me at jason.wright@waterford.org.
