I am in the process of building a huge form with flash mx where the user will have to fill out over several steps The user will have the ability to go back to a previous step and change their input. The input text fields are okay, but when I go back to a previous frame it defaults back to the “false” state. Is there a method for storing the value in a variable and then calling the variable back when they come back to that previous step?

I have been playing around with storing the state of the checkbox, but not sure if i’m using the right object.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :beam:

I found a solution.

If anyone else is having similar issue, please let me know. I spent a good couple of hours trying to figure this out, and finally got it. By no means am I a master … just yet. :beam:
