Little trickery and I resolved the problem
anyway
basically I used name to keep checkbox number
at creation
var k1 : uint = k*2;
cbJ_L.name = k1.toString();
var k2 : uint = k*2+1;
cbJ_R.name = k2.toString();
and in function called upon change event
public function setCheckBox(event:Event):void {
var currNumber:uint = Number(event.currentTarget.name);
var otherNumber:uint;
if (currNumber%2 == 1) {
otherNumber = currNumber-1;
} else {
otherNumber = currNumber+1;
}
if (event.currentTarget.selected) {
cbJ_arr[otherNumber].selected = false;
}
}
I am good at making things work but I would like to do it right way ;)
