.. still the above doesn’t solve my question..

if I have 8 different labels for the checkboxes, and I am using a single repeater, then how would I divide those 8 components as first 4 and then next 4.. as mentioned in my above comment

Red Orange Yellow Green
Blue Black Violet Pink

.. Consider the above as the layout of the checkboxes

Your example realy hepl me to settle my troubles.

Thanks! your comment is very helpful! Exactly what i needed!
Thanks again!!

Flex in the file:
<mx:Repeater id=”myRepeater” dataProvider=”{dataCont.lastResult.xmlrecCont.xmlRepeater}” >
<mx:Canvas width=”80%” height=”80″ backgroundColor=”#E3E3E3″ left=”10″ top=”85″ themeColor=”#4BB6B7″ borderColor=”#BFBEBE” cornerRadius=”5″ borderStyle=”solid” borderThickness=”1″>
<mx:Label text=”RI:” left=”5″ top=”5″ width=”28″ height=”20″ fontWeight=”bold”/>
<mx:Label text=”Tipo:” left=”5″ top=”30″ width=”35″ height=”20″ fontWeight=”bold”/>
<mx:Label text=”Razão Social:” left=”75″ top=”5″ width=”80″ height=”20″ fontWeight=”bold”/>
<mx:Label text=”Data:” width=”40″ height=”20″ right=”138″ top=”30″ fontWeight=”bold”/>
<mx:Label text=”Número Contrato” width=”110″ height=”20″ right=”68″ top=”55″ fontWeight=”bold”/>
<mx:Label text=”Situação:” width=”60″ height=”20″ top=”55″ fontWeight=”bold” left=”5″/>
<mx:Label width=”30″ height=”20″ top=”5″ left=”41″ text=”{dataCont.lastResult.xmlrecCont.xmlRI}” textAlign=”left”/>
<mx:Label width=”80″ height=”20″ top=”30″ left=”41″ text=”{dataCont.lastResult.xmlrecCont.xmlTpo}”/>
<mx:Label width=”80″ height=”20″ top=”55″ left=”75″ text=”{dataCont.lastResult.xmlrecCont.xmlSit}”/>
<mx:Label width=”70″ height=”20″ top=”55″ right=”5″ text=”{dataCont.lastResult.xmlrecCont.xmlId_cont}”/>
<mx:Label height=”20″ top=”5″ text=”{dataCont.lastResult.xmlrecCont.xmlRazso_no}” textAlign=”left” left=”160″ right=”5″/>
<mx:Label width=”135″ height=”20″ right=”5″ top=”30″ text=”{dataCont.lastResult.xmlrecCont.xmlDate}”/>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Repeater>

In the PHP file:

<?php

require_once(“conexao.php”);

$id_rep = “1″;
$mysql_select = “SELECT * FROM projcont WHERE id_rep = ‘$id_rep’”;
$mysql_query = mysql_query($mysql_select);
$mysql_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_query);

$cto = “<xmlrecCont>”;
if($mysql_query) {
$cto .= “<xmlRepeater>”;
$cto .= $mysql_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_query);
$cto .= “</xmlRepeater>”;
$cto .= “<xmlRI>”;
$cto .= $mysql_fetch['ID_cad'];
$cto .= “</xmlRI>”;
$cto .= “<xmlRazso_no>”;
$cto .= $mysql_fetch['razso_no'];
$cto .= “</xmlRazso_no>”;
$cto .= “<xmlTpo>”;
$cto .= $mysql_fetch['tpo'];
$cto .= “</xmlTpo>”;
$cto .= “<xmlData>”;
$cto .= $mysql_fetch['data'];
$cto .= “</xmlData>”;
$cto .= “<xmlSit>”;
$cto .= $mysql_fetch['sit'];
$cto .= “</xmlSit>”;
$cto .= “<xmlId_cont>”;
$cto .= $mysql_fetch['id_cont'];
$cto .= “</xmlId_cont>”;
} else {
$cto .= “Error mysql_query”;
}
$cto .= “</xmlrecCont>”;

echo($cto);

?>

Thank you already!

Something like this:

        </mx:ControlBar>
    </mx:Panel>

</mx:Application>

You can comment/uncomment some of the ActionScript logic based on if you want to toggle or invert the selected items.
