private function myCheckboxClicked(event:MouseEvent)
{
    // doStuff();
}

...

myCheckbox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myCheckboxClicked);

As long as it inherits EventDispatcher, you can attach a listener and it'll send events as normal.

Thank you for your response. Upon implementing your solution, I've got this error. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function. What is lacking? I put import flash.events.MouseEvent; – Jejad Feb 20 '09 at 09:27
You can also be more specific and specify the return type of the function like so: private function myCheckboxClicked(event:MouseEvent):void – erikprice Feb 20 '09 at 12:04
