Hi,

I'm new a Flex and it seems it's more complicated that it should be... but
hopefully I'm wrong.
I'm trying to create a list of 7 fruits, that include a picture, a checkbox
and its label in English.
There is a Submit button that when it's clicked, the label of the selected
checkboxes changes to Spanish.
I have this partially working but my problem is to loop through all 7 elements
using a for loop to avoid long lines of code.
I attempted doing it like I would do it in javascript:

for (i=1; i<8; i++){
if ( "fruit"+i+".selected") {
}
}
}

But it's not working. I spent 2 hours surfing in the web but the solutions are
related to including a datagrid or a list but it seems too difficult and they
don't mention anything about handling pictures. My code is quite simple,
something like the following 7 times, just changing the image source and the
fruit index.

<mx:Image x="479" y="21" source="images/banana.gif" width="50" height="50"/>
<mx:CheckBox x="554" y="49" label="Banana" id="fruit1" textAlign="left"/>

Your help will be greatly appreciate it!

You have to change some things, and ofcourse you can't use JavaScript like
this, you have to use ActionScript.

First, loop like this: "for (var i:int = 1; i<8; i++) {". And change the label
after the if-condition by: "fruit"+i.label = "Spanish text"; (Maybe a better
idea is to get this fromout a ArrayCollection...?)
And use the debug-functionality and trace what results you get by, trace("in
loop, i: "+i);

Thanks for your response, but it doesn't seem to be working. It seems that it
doesn't like the combination of the string plus the integer variable. I have:
var i:int;
i=1;
for (i=1; i<8; i++){
if ( "fruit"+i+".selected")

And it's showing a compilation error in the condition. I also tried:

if ("fruit"+i.selected) but it doesn't do it either :-(

Thanks,

the if-condition won't work indeed.

I can't test it out right now, but i think you have to use:
var b:Boolean = Boolean();
var fruitId:String = String();

in loop ... {
fruitId = "fruit"+i;
b = fruitId.selected;

if (b) {
doYourThing
}

Use the trace function which will lead you through this.
