The CheckBox control is commonly used graphical control that can contain a check mark or be unchecked (empty). CheckBox controls gather a set of true or false values that are not mutually exclusive. You can add a text label to a CheckBox control and place it to the left, right, top, or bottom. When a user clicks a CheckBox control or its associated text, the CheckBox control changes its state, from checked to unchecked, or from unchecked to checked.

<mx:CheckBox label="No default." labelPlacement="right|left|bottom|top" selected="false|true" click="Event handler; no default." />
Broadcast when the user selects the control. The target property of the event object contains a reference to the component that triggered the event. The type property of the event object contains the name of the event, click.
