Hello again -  
I was always crappy at math - but now I am ready to learn!

- I have built a grid containing boxes which act similar to the checkbox component.
- What I am trying to do is retrieve the number of boxes selected once a ‘submit’ button is pressed.

I am lost!  
I have included my fla so you can see what I am talking about
