Hmm... the problem with the check boxes in the flash libraries is that if

you use them straight out of the library, you will only be able to have one

checkbox in your movie.

This is because they store the variable "check" in the root level of the

movie,

not in an MC where you could use the same check box and simply change its

instance name. For example:

Root-

        | -->value1

                      |----checkbox = 0


        |--->value2

                      |----checkbox = 1


Then your two values are:  "/:value1/checkbox" = 0

                                        "/:value2/checkbox" = 1


You can use the same checkbox symbol from the library for both checkboxes.
