ActionScript Class Name mx.controls.CheckBox
The properties of the CheckBox class let you create a text label and position it to the left,
right, top, or bottom of a check box at runtime.
Setting a property of the CheckBox class with ActionScript overrides the parameter of the
same name set in the Property inspector or Component inspector.
The CheckBox component uses the Focus Manager to override the default Flash Player focus
rectangle and draw a custom focus rectangle with rounded corners. For more information, see
“Creating custom focus navigation” in Using Components.
Each component class has a
version property, which is a class property. Class properties are
available only on the class itself. The
version property returns a string that indicates the
version of the component. To access this property, use the following code:
trace(mx.controls.CheckBox.version);
NOTE
The code trace(myCheckBoxInstance.version); returns undefined.
