    Hi guys! newbie question…

    I was given a project that has a layer with multiple checkbox effect, I want to be able through scripting to access the checkbox property and through a for loop, be able to turn one checkbox at the time. The problem is I have no idea how to access the checkbox property to turn the checkbox on or off.

    I have the matchname to the checkbox property…. but how can I tell the checkbox to turn ON or OFF?
    dayLayer.effect(“ADBE Checkbox Control”)(“ADBE Checkbox Control-0001”)

    Sample of what one of the layers looks like:

    Thanks!!!

    To answer my own question, I found out that by doing:
    dayLayer.effect(“ADBE Checkbox Control”)(“ADBE Checkbox Control-0001”).setValue(false)

    will turn it off in case someone else would like to know.

    Thanks!
