I have a string which is ultimately the id of a CheckBox.

What I need to be able to do is to access the CheckBox's properties from the string

var myCheckBox:Object; var myString:String;

myString = "checkbox_1"

myCheckBox = Object(myString); ?!?!

... and then I'd need to get to myCheckBox.selected, and myCheckBox.label etc
