I want to use the checkbox component in my flash app, but it's really tiny. According to this article 1, the size and scale parameters only affect the invisible bounding box. Does anyone know of a quick solution on how to scale up (enlarge) the visual area of the checkbox component in flash CS3?
A:
You can scale the entire component with myCheckBox._xscale=200;myCheckBox._yscale=200;
However this will scale everything, including the line thicknesses, text size, shadow etc, so it might not be the effect you're looking for.

Hi Ricard,I should have specified that I'm using AS3, which uses .scaleX as opposed to ._xscale. Regardless, when I use these and the .setSize command, I'm only affecting the invisible bounding box and not the visible size of the checkbox.
