Hey.  
Probably a simple quesiotn but i cant figure it out…  
i have a checkbox Component, i named it check1  
now all i want to get out of it ( about all u can do with a checkbox)  
is a variable say, checkboxVar, to true or false depending on if the box is clicked or not…

Thanks =)

(all coding is happening on maintimeline please)
