Checkbox not showing as checked when selected=true

programming flash
1

I have a preferences option at the beginning of my app. It calls in some values from an XML file and passes them to a static var and to myCheckbox.selected which should display a checked box if the value is true. The values are being passed fine, but the checkbox isn’t showing up as checked.

Here’s the code:

//static var = checkbox = XML value
HockeyGametracker.showBlockedShots = this.trackBlocks.selected = preferencesXML.Block;
//this returns as true
trace(this.trackBlocks.selected);

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
