There is no way to set the imageSource of a chunk
inside a variable, plain and simple. What I'm
suggesting is that you build the entire htmlText in
your variable, and then set the htmlText of your
field.

Below a simple example that just checks all the
non-hilited checkbox images.

##
constant kRegularCheckboxId = 600000
constant kHilitedCheckboxId = 600001

on mouseUp
  -- checking all the boxes in field "Foobar"
  put the htmlText of field "Foobar" into tHtmlText
  replace "<img src=" & quote & kRegularCheckboxId &
quote & ">" with "<img src=" & quote &
kHilitedCheckboxId & quote & ">" in tHtmlText
  set the htmlText of field "Foobar" to tHtmlText
end mouseUp
