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 use flash MX, could you send me a version of your file too? Hopefully it will work- or at least give me an idea.
