// Most of the time when you have a checkbox with a label and link in that label, you just want to change the color of that link on rollOver or rollOut. Here is how:
// In your button class
private function overState():void {
var correctIndex:int = _label.text.toLowerCase( ).indexOf( "text i want to change color to" );
var tF:TextFormat = Fonts.getFormat( Fonts.AVANTGARDE );
tF.color = 0xFFCC00;
_label.setTextFormat( tF , correctIndex , _label.text.length );
}
private function outState():void {
var tF:TextFormat = Fonts.getFormat( Fonts.AVANTGARDE );
tF.color = 0xCCFF00;
_label.setTextFormat( tF );
}
