thanks jester, that helped and thanks to Steven Webster's book, chapter 7.... :-)
here is what worked and what I did...
 
<mx:Script>
  function changeOther( event )
  {
   if ( event.target == summaryCHB )
    detailCHB.enabled = !detailCHB.enabled;
    
   if ( event.target == detailCHB )
    summaryCHB.enabled = !summaryCHB.enabled;
  }
 </mx:Script> 
<mx:FormItem >
                  <mx:CheckBox label="Summary" labelPlacement="bottom" id="summaryCHB" click="changeOther( event );"/>
            </mx:FormItem>
            <mx:FormItem>
                  <mx:CheckBox label="Detail" labelPlacement="bottom" id="detailCHB" click="changeOther( event );"/>
            </mx:FormItem>

Subject: [flexcoders] how to make an object active?




Here's a quickie that I am sure someone can answer pretty quickly; I
have a radio group that has x number of items, and what I want to do
is make a coulple of checkboxes either be greyed out (active) or in-
active depending on which radiobutton a user clicks on; my code:
if a user click on the first radiobutton I want the summary check
box to be active and the detail check box to gey out...
can reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or here...
