You can programmatically skin the CheckBox as described in the following
section of the doc:
"Programmatically reskinning the CheckBox control"
Link: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/00002198.htm
The confusion over per-instance skinning properties might stem from the
fact that we do not support using them in Flex 1.5 and most (if not all)
references to them were removed from the documentation.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How to change the appearance of a
checkbox ?
Hi,
I've checked the skinning properties but don't understand how to
use
them. The API reference only points to SimpleButton class which
has
its own skin values like "SimpleButtonUp". I tried some of the
properties but did not get them to work. And the API also says
that "The SimpleButton control is also the the only control that
allows you to specify skin properties in MXML" - which made me
think
that checkboxes cannot be handled the same way.
I am making a sort of print preview window. The data is entered
in
another place in another form and the container I'm making is
only
supposed to display the data and enable printing it on paper. So
the
controls should look nice and be inaccessible by the user.
Hopefully
this is not confusing..
