Checkbox.labelplacement - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-COMPONENTS LANGUAGE Reference

This example creates the check box in ActionScript, and then resizes the label when checked.
For this example, drag a CheckBox component from the Components panel to the current
document's library (so the CheckBox component appears in your library, but not on the
Stage). Then add the following ActionScript to the first frame of the main timeline:
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.CheckBox, "my_ch", 10, {label:"Resize
CheckBox instance"});
function checkboxHandler(evt_obj:Object):Void {
trace("before: " + evt_obj.target.width +"px wide");
evt_obj.target.setSize(200, evt_obj.target.height);
trace("after: " + evt_obj.target.width+"px wide");
}
my_ch.addEventListener("click", checkboxHandler);
