Howdy,

I have **drawn** a box on stage and turned it into a movieclip called **sidePanel,** within it I place a checkbox.

My document class ‘Main.as’, ie the class called upon by the flash file, creates a class of name Class1.

So we have

[COLOR=“SeaGreen”].FLA (The Stage) -\> Main.as -\> Class1.as[/COLOR]

Now from the Class1.as  
How to get the checkbox [COLOR=“seagreen”]status[/COLOR], ie checked or not, from within my class1.as ?:sombrero:
