CheckBox class

Inheritance UIObject > UIComponent > SimpleButton > Button > CheckBox

ActionScript Class Namespace mx.controls.CheckBox

The properties of the CheckBox class allow you to create a text label and position it to the left, right, top, or bottom of a check box at runtime.

Setting a property of the CheckBox class with ActionScript overrides the parameter of the same name set in the Property inspector or Component Inspector panel.

The CheckBox component uses the FocusManager to override the default Flash Player focus rectangle and draw a custom focus rectangle with rounded corners. For more information, see Creating custom focus navigation.

Each component class has a version property which is a class property. Class properties are only available on the class itself. The version property returns a string that indicates the version of the component. To access the version property, use the following code:

trace(mx.controls.CheckBox.version);

Note: The following code returns undefined: trace(myCheckBoxInstance.version);.
