Code Samples

Here is a working example of Accordion Tree Menu Pro V1 http://store.jumpeye.com/temp2/atm.htm

Here is an example how to use this menu to browse links. In your xml file at a simple node you have the following attributes:
item title="goto jumpeye" id="jump" description="http://www.jumpeye.com"

title = the title that is displayed
id = a string that can be used for a switch action or even for this link
description = a string attribute that can be used to passs the link...

here is how to do it: (also example no 2 in the .zip file purchased, go on the first/ first/ first/ submenu, where you see jumpeye) i would use a item node like the one above and i will use the listener to retreive the link

var obj:Object = new Object();
accordionInstance.addListener(obj);
obj.onPress = function(args) {
if(args.description){
getURL(args.description);
}
}
