Passing parameters

Hi,
Its been a long time since I've used koolmoves and still new to AS3. Trying to work out how to use the km components.
I'm trying to get the results from a series of checkboxes but rather than outputting the results straight away, I
want to to show the results when pressing the submit button.

I've got the general idea but I'm having problems on how to pass the data (outcheck1, outcheck2 and outcheck3)
to a function. I think I'm not passing parameters properly.

Anyway the following code is listed. Thanks in advance (by the way there may be more of these basic questions coming up
but I'll try to make an attempt to solve them before seeking help!)

import km.core.*;
import km.components.*;

checkbox1.setProperties({x:50, y:50, checked:false});
checkbox1.text = 'Checkbox 1';
checkbox1.onChange = function(){
var outcheck1:String = this.checked ? 'checkbox 1 checked' : 'checkbox 1 unchecked';
txt2.text = outcheck1;
}
addChild(checkbox1)


checkbox2.setProperties({x:50, y:70, checked:false});
checkbox2.text = 'Checkbox 2';
checkbox2.onChange = function(){
var outcheck2:String = this.checked ? 'checkbox 2 checked' : 'checkbox 2 unchecked';
txt2.text = outcheck2;
}
addChild(checkbox2)


checkbox3.setProperties({x:50, y:90, checked:false});
checkbox3.text = 'Checkbox 3';
checkbox3.onChange = function(){
var outcheck3:String = this.checked ? 'checkbox 3 checked' : 'checkbox 3 unchecked';
txt2.text = outcheck3;
}
addChild(checkbox3)

// output checkbox combinations

pushbutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN ,outputshow);

function outputshow(e:MouseEvent):void {
var result:String = outcheck1 + outcheck2 + outcheck3;
txt1.text = result;
}

It's probably the variable scope.
If you define a variable inside a function, it is local to that function. Outside of the function it's not visible.

You should try running the debug version of flashplayer when testing, it makes sorting this kind of thing out much easier..

When I run your code it's as Wilbert suggest I get an error that outcheck1 is not definded

If you want to access variables outside of the function you just declare (create) them before the function

Code:

---

import km.core.*;
import km.components.*;

var outcheck1:String
var outcheck2:String
var outcheck3:String

checkbox1.setProperties({x:50, y:50, checked:false});
checkbox1.text = 'Checkbox 1';
checkbox1.onChange = function(){
outcheck1 = this.checked ? 'checkbox 1 checked' : 'checkbox 1 unchecked';
txt2.text = outcheck1;
}
addChild(checkbox1)


checkbox2.setProperties({x:50, y:70, checked:false});
checkbox2.text = 'Checkbox 2';
checkbox2.onChange = function(){
outcheck2 = this.checked ? 'checkbox 2 checked' : 'checkbox 2 unchecked';
txt2.text = outcheck2;
}
addChild(checkbox2)


checkbox3.setProperties({x:50, y:90, checked:false});
checkbox3.text = 'Checkbox 3';
checkbox3.onChange = function(){
outcheck3 = this.checked ? 'checkbox 3 checked' : 'checkbox 3 unchecked';
txt2.text = outcheck3;
}
addChild(checkbox3)

// output checkbox combinations

pushbutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN ,outputshow);

function outputshow(e:MouseEvent):void {
var result:String = outcheck1 + outcheck2 + outcheck3;
txt1.text = result;
}

It was as simple as that? Thank you very much Wilbert and Blanius !
Maybe I need to learn to crawl before I can run and learn the fundamentals.
Cheers!
