Im trying to pass values to a php.

My problem is when I try to pass the value (true / false) of a checkbox. Its set to be false by default but the thing is that I have not found the way to pass the “selected” status to my php.

I have the ckbx inside a movieclip and on a button press I pass the variables (loadVariables) from the movieclip to php (POST)

I would like to know how to obtain the current status of the ckbx and pass it to a variable in Flash to send it to php (the last i know how to do)

I tried using if(check1.selected == true) but it does not work

I do not have much experience in AS so i would appreciate a detail answered

thanks

so that you get the code

one button called submit - does the obvious  
check1 - instance name for the checkbox component  
ck1 - instance name for the var (dyn txt) i am using to get the value

on (press) {  
if (check1.setValue == true){  
ck1 = “si”;  
} else {  
ck1 = “no”;  
}  
}
