The class you are using has overriden the Checkbox class' setter for the selected property, thereby making it impossible to check or uncheck the box using the selected property.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/controls/LabelButton.html#selected

CODE:

override public function set selected(value:Boolean):void { 
}

SOLUTION: Without changing your class to allow your setter to change the selected property of the superclass, two options are:

A) Call the event handler onCheckChange manually and pass it a null event or dummy event:

CheckCellClass.onCheckChange (new Event(Event.CHANGE));

B) Dispatch an Event.CHANGE event into the event stream to trigger the event handler:

CheckCellClass.dispatchEvent (new Event (Event.CHANGE));
