check boxes

[copeZero]

Hi I was wondering if it was possible to create check box dynamically? I have an xml that i will be iterating thru and for each node i would like to create a text box on the main stage. How would i go about this? Thanks for the insight!

Thanks oldnewbie, after reading that article i attempted (today) to produce something. Was wondering if you oldnewbie eyes can take a look at it, thanks:

This is the xml i'm toying with:

<Risk>
        <Lables>
            <Risks name="BMI" change="10" modname=""></Risks>
        </Lables>
        <Lables>
            <Risks name="Physical Activity" change="15" modname="Increase you daily activities"></Risks>
        </Lables>
        <Lables>
            <Risks name="Whole Grain Intake" change="10" modname="Increase whole grain intake"></Risks>
        </Lables>
        <Lables>
            <Risks name="Lacking Healthy Fats" change="5" modname="Eat more health fats"></Risks>
        </Lables>
</Risk>

I'm will be trying (below) to make and display check boxes of the inline attribute "modname"

_global.a1=1;
// above prevents the script from firing again since 
//the movie has two frames without a stop on either

function processXMLRiskData(success)
{

if (success && a1<2){
a1=1+1;

// Create a variable to store a reference to each checkbox as it is created.
var cchItem:mx.controls.CheckBox;

// how many checkboxes
numBoxes = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;

		for (i=0; i<numBoxes; i++) {
		// creating an array of items to populate checkboxes
		var aLabels:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].attributes.modname;
		
		  // Create a checkbox.
		  cchItem = this.createObject("CheckBox", "cch" + aLabels[i], this.getNextHighestDepth());
		
		  
//trace(cchItem);  //--> get undefined 4 times
		  
		  // Assign the checkbox a label.
		  cchItem.label = aLabels[i];
		
		  // Move the checkbox so they are not each overlapping.
		  cchItem.move(100, 20 * i + 100);
		
		};

		// Loop through each of the checkbox to add an event listener.
		for(var i:Number = 0; i < aCheckBoxes.length; i++) {
		  // Add an event listener.
		  aCheckBoxes[i].addEventListener("click", oListener);
		};
	
	}
}
