Small mistake. There is no object in Revolution called a "check" or,
for that matter, a "checkbox." It's a button. So a slight change to
your code makes it work:
if hilite of button "AFR" = "true" then answer "You ticked AFR"
That said, you might (or might not) benefit from a couple of
additional "tips."
First, you don't need the '= "true"' portion of your code because the
hilite property returns either true or false so if you just test it,
it comes out positive if the checkbox is ticked:
if hilite of button "AFR" then answer "You ticked AFR"
Second, there is a convention in Revolution that when referring to
properties (such as the hilite property of a button), it's customary
(but not always required) to put "the" in front of it. This is one
way for you, when reading a script, to recognize that you're dealing
with a property of an object rather than a variable or some other
kind of identifier. THus, a seasoned Revolutionary would probably
write your line more like this:
if the hilite of button "AFR" then answer "You ticked AFR"
