Hey there! :thumb2:

I’m making a little form with flash and php, and I’ve got two checkboxes who won’t work the way I wan’t them to… ☹

So, is there a way to setup the checkboxes, so that only one can be selected (you can’t select both).  
In other words, if checkbox1 is checked and you select checkbox2 - then checkbox1 ‘deselects’…

Hope you understand my question…!? - any help would be nice 🙂
