Something like this:

if (myVar == "checked") {
    myCheckbox.selected = true;
} else {
    myCheckbox.selected = false;
}

Hope that helps!

Components are defined in Actionscipt classes that are automatically imported
at compile-time. For the most part, you don't really need to mess with that
source code. Instead, you just make use of the properties and methods exposed
by that class. Consulting the Help Docs will give you everything you need to
know there> here's the Live Docs link for the check box:

If you're still interesting in looking at the guts of it all, on a Windows
box, the path to the file is something like this:

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First
Run\Classes\mx\controls\CheckBox.as

Cheers!

Glad to hear it worked Ken!

Good luck!
