INTERESTING binary logic here ...

alternatively you can make a variable 0 if not tivked and 1 if ticked ..then
stcick the values of the variable together into another variable...

like .....0+1+0+0+1 = 01001

now ..there will be 32 possible values for that variable - each giving another
result which you set up

Hi Eric,

With 5 checkboxes and any combinaton allowed you have 32 possible combinations.
Although I've never done this in Flash you might try this:

lets call the 5 checkboxes A, B, C, D and E
Assign to all checkboxes a variable
When a checkbox isn't selected the value for the variable for that checkbox
is 0, otherwise it gets a value depending on which checkbox is selected:

A.........value 1
B......... value 2
C.......... value 4
D......... value 8
E .........value 16

When the user submits his/her choices make a sum of all variables.
The value of the sum holds now the information which chekbox(es) is/are
selected.

Sum variables = 0 no checkboxes selected
Sum variables = 1 checkbox A selected
Sum variables = 2 checkbox B selected
Sum variable = 3 checkbox A and B selected
Sum variables = 4 checkbox C selected
Sum variable = 5 checkboxes C and A selected
etc.

Based upon the value of the sum of the variables you know which checkboxes
are selected and can give the correct response for that choice

HTH (a little)
