(flash cs3 pro, action script 2.0, win xp)

i want to use flash to make a test application. it should have

buttons, which should direct to another screen when pressed, and

checkboxes that can be checked. i am quite new to flash cs pro, i

managed to switch from screen A to screen B, and back from screen B to  
screen A.

but the problem is, i want to make lots of checkboxes on  
screen A. An user should be able to check any of these. And if they  
are checked, they should remain checked, even when the user switches  
to another screen. so when the user switches back to screen A with the  
checkboxes, they should still be checked. So somehow the state of the  
checkboxes should be stored and retrieved again? Could you explain how  
to do this to a beginner flash user?

another feature that has to be included are is a video screen. a .avi  
file should play when a button is pressed, and the video should run  
and always keep running (so no pause or stop) even when the user  
switches to another screen. it a sort of monitoring app so the video  
should still run when the user switches back to the videoscreen.
