CheckBox Component Aaarrggghh

Checkbox Component To Toggle ComboBox Component
I've got a script that dynamically generates a grid of checkboxes and combo boxes. I'm trying write a handler to toggle the Combo boxes on or off when a user clicks on the corresponding checkbox. To do this, I add a property called "bound_to" when duplicating the checkboxes. The "bound_to" property contains the instance name of the combo box that I want the checkbox to control. So here's my onChange handler:


Code:
function toggleComboBox(component) {
trace(component._name+" has been selected ");
trace("bound to "+ eval(component.bound_to));

if (eval(component.bound_to).getEnabled == true) {
trace("enabled must be true for the target");
eval(component.bound_to).setEnabled(false);
} else {
trace("enabled is false for the target");
eval(component.bound_to).setEnabled(true);
}

}
My trace actions show that the correct instance names are saved correctly and this function works to enable the combo boxes, but it won't disable them. The problem is with the IF statement I think. It always returns false so I can only toggle the combo boxes on, but not off again. Is my syntax wrong or am I doing this the wrong way?

Help With CheckBox Component
Hi there,

I was just wondering if someone could help me with some code.
I am using the new Flash MX 2004 checkBox component and this code in the first frame of the movie

tallValueListener = new Object();
tallValueListener.click = function (evt){
appendQuery = (appendQuery add "&tall=true");
trace(appendQuery);
}
tallValue.addEventListener("click", tallValueListener);

What I want to have happen is if the checkBox component is selected (ticked) then the "&tall=true" gets added to the appendQuery. If not selected (ticked) then it doesn't get added. Also, once it has been added it doesn't get added again.

I need this as I have a search application that has lots of these checkboxes and I only want to send the values that are selected and not the ones that aren't. Also whilst on the subject, does anyone know how I can add all the names of the checkBox components, lets say :

tall
long
short
wide

and then check them all at once and add the "&tall=true" etc code if needed. I would find this exceptionally helpful as then I wouldn't have to keep on repeating the code above (when it works properly!!) umpteen times for each checkBox component.

I hope someone understood some of this and can offer some help.

Regards,

Mark Bowen

Can't Get Value Of Checkbox Component - Why?
This is so simple yet it's making me crazy. I'm simply trying to get the value of a component checkbox with the instance name of "check1".

I have one line of actionscript that reads:

Code:
check1_value = check1.getValue();
Shouldn't this assign the true/false value to the "check1_value" variable? Why doesn't it work?

Checkbox Component
I have created a movie clip which contains a checkbox with the instance name of cb.

If I drag the movieclip to the stage and give it an instance name of option1 and then type '_root.option1.cb.selected = true;' in the actionscript window, the checkbox is checked.

However, if I use 'attachMovie' to place the movieclip on the stage using:-
'_root.attachMovie('checkboxclip', 'option1', _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.option1.cb.selected = true;'
This does not place a tick in the checkbox.

Why is this?

Thanks in advance

Help With Checkbox Component
Hi there, I've created a VLA E-learning course in flash CS3 that uses the checkbox component for test questions at the end of the course. Problem is that it seems to be working fine when I export it. I've tested it on a PC using stand alone Flash Player v9 and v8 but I've sent it to the client to preview and they have come back saying that the question where I've used the checkbox component aren't visible and that in there place there appears to be a blank text box.

Can anyone help?

MX Checkbox Component
I am using an older MX Checkbox component. I am trying to insert it into a flash template I am modifying with and email form. Once the post data is sent to the PHP script I can handle it, but how do I send it?
I name the checkbox check1.
What I want to do I guess is somehow say if check1's value = true send this to PHP "Yes I have checked this box", if not then send nothing.
Anyone have any idea how I would script this? (Below is the code I am adding it to just for completeness sake.


Code:
rec="jennk@san.rr.com";
serv="php";

var fields_descriptions= Array ("",
Array("t1", "your_name", "Your Name:"),
Array("t2", "your_email", "Your Email:"),
Array("t3", "phone", "Phone"),
Array("t4", "message", "Message:"),
Array("t5", "field_2", "E-mail:"),
Array("t6", "field_3", "Address:"),
Array("t7", "field_4", "fax:")
);

function reset_txt(name,name2,value) {
path=eval(_target);
path[name2]=value;

this[name].onSetFocus=function() {
path=eval(_target);
if(path[name2]==value) { path[name2]="";}
}

this[name].onKillFocus=function() {
path=eval(_target);
if(path[name2]=="") { path[name2]=value;}

for (i=1; i<=fields_descriptions.length; i++) {

CheckBox Component
Hello,
i made a form which include checkBox components,i'm using this code to trace the selected lable

Code:

Form1 = _root.for_text.contents;
// create a common group for our
// checkboxes by setting a property called group
GROUP_NAME_STR1 = "firstQuestion1";
_root.for_text.contents.BasicSES.group = GROUP_NAME_STR1;

for (var a in Form1) {
   var currentFormItem1 = Form1[a];
   // is the current form item a checkbox that is
   // part of our group that contains adjectives?
   // is the checkbox checked?
   var isChecked1 = currentFormItem1.selected;
   if (isChecked1) {
   // add the current adjective to the message
   theSite_promotion = currentFormItem1.label;
         
   trace(theSite_promotion);

   senderLoad.site_promotion = currentFormItem1.label;
   }
   }


so i get always the Site promotions but when i send it into the form i receive only one item not all values??

Checkbox Component Initial Value
Does anyone know how you can set the initial value of a checkbox component at runtime, without calling the change handler for the box. The MX manual rather obscurely refers to it:

Although calling this method overrides the Initial Value parameter value specified in authoring, do not use the method for this purpose because it also triggers the associated change handler function. To set the Initial Value parameter of a check box at runtime, use FCheckBox.setStyleProperty.

, but which styleproperty should be set?

Any clues?

cheers

Checkbox Component Not Working
This is my first time using the new MX components and I am having trouble. I am trying to create 3 different check boxes. I have assigned each one a name. I am trying to retrieve the "true" or "false" values that are created by the checkbox either being checked or not. The properties panels says the default value is "false" but when I "trace" the check box's name, it comes up undefined whether the box is checked or not. I had assumed that when you named the checkbox, that Flash was declaring a variable by that name (like it does with dynamic text fields) Is this not true? How would I declare the variable manually?

Thanks

Checkbox In DataGrid Component
Hey all,

I have searched the documentation to no avail. Maybe one of you can help.

I have a dataGrid component that has a column named "Remove". I use .setCellSymbol() to make that column use checkboxes to represent the boolean values. However, when I do this it becomes impossible to edit the value. The editHandler that I set with .setEditHandler executes when I edit a text field, but not when I check/uncheck a box. Also, when I loop through the rows, the original boolean value is returned, not what I checked or unchecked.

Any ideas as to how to make the changes to the checkbox carry over to the data?

Thanks in advance.

Remember CheckBox-component Value?
Hi, What I want to do in FlashMX is simple.

A flash-form out of two frames. First frame has a next button, while the second has a back (and submit) button.

The firstframe has a checkbox-component with the name : checkFOOD

The function NextStep is called when the next button is pressed and looks like this:

function NextStep () {
var FOODChecked=checkFOOD.getValue();
nextFrame();
}

I was hoping to store the value from checkFOOD in the variable FOODChecked. That way I could restore the situation if a user needs to go back from the second frame to the first.

However two simple trace-statements, one just before the nextframe-statement in the function NextStep and another on line 1 of frame 2 have learned me that the variable FOODchecked is always set to false when we go to the following frame.

Strange no?? Or is it me??

How can I remember the value of a checkbox?

Checkbox Component V2 And Getting Values
So I have the latest and greatest Flash MX 2004 Pro and have dragged a checkbox component onto my stage and called it: selectAll_ch .

With V2 components, there is no change handler so in order to get the value I try adding this code directly to the instance of the checkbox:

on(click){
trace(selectAll_ch.getValue());
trace(this.getValue());
this.setLabel(this.getValue());
}

This results in two "undefined"s being printed to the trace window and the label being set to "undefined".

How do you get an on click event to give you the true / false value for the checkbox.

I am stumped!

Much thanks in advance,
Matt

Component Checkbox Issue
Hello,
I am using Flash 2004 and I have built a simple flash component that uses a few check boxes to turn some bullet locations on/off on a map of the U.S.A.
Right now I have 4 checkboxes. One represents "Clubs", one represents "Residences", one represents "Upcoming Locations", and one represents the one's that are a club and also a residence. I was trying to right some conditional code to have the "clubs" checkbox" listen to the "residence" checkbox, and if both the clubs and residence are unchecked, the the bullets for the locations that are both clubs and/or a residence turn off, but the code did not work, it just did the first part of the condition right away which was turn off clubs, or turn off residences, so I had to compromise and add the extra check box "clubs/residences". Is there a conditional statement that would work so I only need 2 check boxes? One for "Clubs, one for "Residences"? so the locations that are both a club and a residence do not go invisible untill both "Clubs" and "Residences" are unchecked? Hope this makes sense. Maybe this will clear it up. Take a look at the demo and you can see that it works. See link below. I want to lose the "Clubs/Resideces" checkbox if I can. Thanks in advance for your help.

Component Checkbox In Form
Heres what I am up against!

I have a series of 20 checkboxes to check for certain responses from a simple form. Only problem being that I dont want to have to check each of the 20 checkboxes to get the required values, so I added a loop to check them for me. Initially only the first six and then so on and so on.

Problem being that the variables are always '0'

Anyone worked on something similiar or can point me in the right direction?









Attach Code

getResults.onRelease = function() {
var variablename:Number = 0;
tl = this;
for (var i = 1; i<=6; i++) {
if (tl["selectionBox"+i].selected == "True") {
trace("YIPPEEEEEEEEEE");
// var variablename= (variablename+1);
}
}
//this works
/*if (selectionBox1.selected == true) {
variablename= (variablename+1);
trace("Yippee");
}*/
trace(variablename);
};

Rollover For Checkbox Component
I'm working with the CheckBox component for making a quiz. I've got CB components labeled A, B, C, etc. with a textfield next to them with the various possible answers. I want to have it so that the user can rollover or click the answer text to check off their answers just as if they had hit the tiny little check box.

I've got the checking/unchecking part working. But I would also like for rolling over the text to provide the same visual feedback as moving the pointer over the checkbox. And here I run into a dead end. I can't quite figure out how to do this.

Poking around a bit I found that if I set the checkboxes phase to rollover and invalidate() it I will see the result I expect. But I'm not sure if that is causing other problems.

Anybody know the "right" way to do this?

Any help appreciated..

[MX04] Checkbox Component Labels
I've read a number of threads that state checkbox labels can be formatted ... but how is it 'actually' done? Is it actually possible to change the font and size?

I've been able to dynamically change the label text, but not the formatting.

Does anyone have a link to a working example? or am I going to have to make my checkboxes the old fashion way?

Tween Flash Checkbox Component?
1. Does flash let you apply a tween (move) to a checkbox component? I tried doing it already and it plays correctly on the timeline when I go frame per frame, but when I play/run the .fla file, it doesnt display correctly.

2. The functionality I am trying to get of it is that I have a button that says "Close", while I have another checkbox that gives the user the option to never see the flash menu again. The idea is that if the user checks the checkbox and then clicks the close button, the flash will never pop up again. However, if the user doesnt check the checkbox, the flash menu will keep popping up again everytime the user goes back to the page.


Thanks.

Checkbox Component To Call Movieclip
I'm trying to call a movieclip dependent on which checkboxes are selected. The user selects checkboxes and the presses a button to call the movie. How do I set the function for the button to check the values (true or false) of the checkboxes to decide which movie it is to play. Each different combination of checkbox selections calls a different movie. I need guidance on how to do this. Do I need to do something specific with the checkboxes? As of now I have something like this..

function dressUp ():Void {
if (head1=true && top1=true && bottom1=true) {
outfit_MC.gotoAndPlay (1);
else (head1=true && top2=true && bottom2=true) {
outfit2_MC.gotoAndPlay (1);
}
}

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Component Checkbox Uncheck Prob
Hello.
Im tryin to make checkboxes, where if you check one, others uncheck. the only way so far i have seen is to write func for every box, like
if box one checked uncheck all others.
if box two is checked, uncheck all others and so on.
i know this isnt right.
Right would be like this:
func checkIT(box) {
put all boxes false;
put [box] true;
}
but this gives me continuos loop error. i think i know even why it does so : i check the box with mouse, and it tries to check it with code too.
is there any other way, so that i can optimize it?
thank you.

Checkbox Component Depth Problem
my flash movie shows on some mouseovers tooltip-like text-popups. now i need some checkboxes. but when i use the component (flash8) the whole depth structure gets messed up and the tooltips and other movieclips are shown at other depths than i set in my classes and as-sources.

if i deactivate "export for actionscript" for the checkbox component in my library, everything is working fine.

i need create the checkboxes with as. i also saw a lot of posts about problems like this. but no answer solved this issue. i also tried using DepthManager-class but this is also not working.

any ideas?
i dont want to make my own checkbox-class.

thanks

Checkbox Component Not Working With Form
ok so i;ve gon back to the down a dirty way of doing this...
http://www.lightningmedia.com/form_test.php (technical info tab)

each text field has a Var: Name, email, and company
i've used the CheckBox component

i;ve placed the fallowing code on the submit button

on (release) {
if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == -1 || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
EmailStatus = "Please enter a valid E-mail address";
} else {
loadVariablesNum("includes/techinfo_signup.php", 0, "POST");
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

easy enough right?

everything works fine but the CheckBox......
i'm trying to send a 1 or 0 to the database.

i've given the component a
fieldname: newsletter (the same as the field in the database)
data type: Boolean
required: true
Read only: false
kind: data
formatter:none
encoding:none
default value:1
path: includes/techinfo_signup.php
storage type: simple

so what am i missing? i'm at a loss...

thanks again

Checkbox Component Color Change?
Folks,

I'm trying to change the color of a checkbox component. I have managed to add a shadow and change the check color but I can't seem to change the color of the check box itself.

I used the following code for the shadow and check:

A.setStyleProperty("check", 0x0025500);
A.setStyleProperty("shadow", 0x0025500);

Any ideas for the actual checkbox?

Many thanks - this forum is helping me a great deal

Checkbox Component To Call Movieclip
I'm trying to call a movieclip dependent on which checkboxes are selected. The user selects checkboxes and the presses a button to call the movie. How do I set the function for the button to check the values (true or false) of the checkboxes to decide which movie it is to play. Each different combination of checkbox selections calls a different movie. I need guidance on how to do this. Do I need to do something specific with the checkboxes? As of now I have something like this..

function dressUp ():Void {
if (head1=true && top1=true && bottom1=true) {
outfit_MC.gotoAndPlay (1);
else (head1=true && top2=true && bottom2=true) {
outfit2_MC.gotoAndPlay (1);
}
}

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Checkbox Component - Label Width
My checkboxes aren't showing any more than 16 characters and I don't know how to make them wider because I'm attaching them in a loop like this:


Code:

var c = this.listView.createClassObject(mx.controls.CheckBox, "my_ch", this.listView.getNextHighestDepth(), {label:array[j]});
What do I need to do to get wider labels?
