I am having trouble with setting the selected property of a CheckBox component when the component is in an attached movie clip. Basically I have a class that is using attachMovie to attach a Flash pop up clip. It has a few check boxes on it. I am setting an initObj with the attachMovie to set variables on the timeline of the pop up clip. On the initObj I have some values that will have boolean values which will be used to set the check boxes to be checked or unchecked as soon as the attached movie is instantiated. The method that is doing this looks like this:

Actionscript:

public function showBackgammonInvitedUserPopup(pInviteId:Number, pAlias:String, pBalance:Number, pGameType:Number, pGameSettings:BackgammonGameSettings):Void
	{
		// Create a pop up window
		var initObj:Object = new Object ();
		initObj["inviteId"] = pInviteId;
		initObj["userName"] = pAlias;
		initObj["balance"] = pBalance;
		initObj["gameType"] = pGameType;
		initObj["gameSettings"] = pGameSettings;
		
		var invitedUserPopUp:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("InvitedUserPopup", "InvitedUserPopup", 1000001, initObj);
		
		// Position the pop up.
		invitedUserPopUp._x = Stage.width / 2;
		invitedUserPopUp._y = Stage.height / 2;
		
	}

On the first frame of the attached clip, I am setting the selected propety of the check boxes to the values that were set to the timeline of the attached clip via the initObj. The code on the first frame of the attached pop up clip looks something like this:

Actionscript:

stop();

//  This is the game settings object we received when this pop up is created.
import classes.game.BackgammonGameSettings;
var gameSettings:BackgammonGameSettings;

// Now we need to extract all the properties from this object and populate the
// fields of this  pop up with that info.
import mx.controls.CheckBox;

var mCrawford:CheckBox;
var mJacoby:CheckBox;
var mAutoDouble:CheckBox;

mCrawford.selected = Boolean (gameSettings.mCrawford);
mJacoby.selected = Boolean (gameSettings.mJacoby);
mAutoDouble.selected = Boolean (gameSettings.mAutoDoubles);

Makes sense right? Should work, but it doesn't. In fact, all the check boxes are having their selected property set to true........which is odd since the default is false. I would feel better if they were all unchecked. At least I know there is something I am doing wrong. The wierd thing is, when I debug this I can see that the values are getting through. I even trace the selected properties of the check boxes and they are the correct values. But all the check boxes are checked. Wierd!
