Hi,

[here’s what I’m talking about](http://www.geocities.com/chartrandi/check.html)

[Here is the FLA file](http://www.geocities.com/chartrandi/check.fla)

I have three checkboxes (not mx components) and a dynamic textbox on which the “showtext” variable is assigned. I want the dynamic text box to display the labels attached to checkboxes when they return a value of 1 : (box one is checked, box2 isn’t so the label doesn’t appear, and so forth.)

I figured I need to use an array for the checkbox labels.

I probably need a loop that verifies which checkboxes are checked (value=1). and use an array to combine the checked boxes with their respective label.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, for I’ve been stuck with this problem for 3 days now and I’m confused.
