You fixed:
if(!numThings[i].selected){ //
correct?
numThings is an int, you need the array there.

Thank you for your quick responses. I've decided to add another var to
my code and it's working just fine now:
var thingsNotSelected:int = 0;
var numThings:int = things.length;
for (var i:int=0;i<numThings;i++){
if(!numThings[i].selected){
thingsNotSelected++;
}
}
if(thingsNotSelected == numThings){
// I know everything inside the array is not selected.
}
Thank you again for your help.
Fumeng.
