Checkbox as3 function

I have 16 checkboxes and I need to see which of them was selected. Is there a function that can do that ? I am able to do them with if() but it will be way to long thanks for the help !!

You should enumerate checkboxes with progressive index, so you can cycle them with a simple for. For example:

//Your checkboxes
var cb1:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
addChild(cb1);
var cb2:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
addChild(cb2);
var cb3:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
addChild(cb3);
var cb4:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
addChild(cb4);
var cb5:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
addChild(cb5);
...

private function getSelectedCb():Array
{
    var returnArray:Array = new Array();
    for(var i:uint = 1; i < 6; i++)
    { 
        var c:CheckBox = this["cb" + i] as CheckBox;
        if(c != null && c.selected)returnArray.push(c);
    }
    return returnArray;
}

Function getSelectedCb() return array containing all selected checkboxes.

I hope this could be usefull to you!

Put your checkboxes in an array, then create a function to iterate over the array and see which box was selected (you can use "for each" and "if"). Add all selected ones to a new array and use this as the function's return value.
