About Accordion Panel V1

Built by Jumpeye Creative Media Inc., Accordion Panel Pro v1 is a professional component that can be used along with your flash movies. Accordion Panel Pro is special designed for FLASH 8 and Flash MX2004.

The Accordion Panel Pro can load external swf and jpg files and display them in the component's compartments. From the properties panel you can customize 12 parameters, such as size, colors, title font, font size, tweening method (true/false), all/one opened window at a time. The tool's skin is very modern and looks good within every web site. The Accordion's look is inspired from Macromedia's authoring environments such as Flash 8, Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks 8.

The Accordion Panel Pro v1 is made for VERTICAL purposes, it can be rotated and also needs fonts to be embed when rotating it to the horizontal position. So we have launched now, the Accordion Panel Pro V2 which is recommended for HORIZONTAL purposes. Its title-bars are also skinable (not only customizable). THE ACCORDION PANEL PRO V2 is not an upgrade to the Accordion Panel Pro v1. It's a different component, more likely to be used for horizontal purpose. We used the "v2" naming only because it is another edition of the accordion panel idea...

The Accordion's content source file is an XML. ( a basic XML content of an accordion can be found here) The path attribute holds the path of the swf movie loaded in an accordion compartment, the title attribute holds the title of the compartment and the opened attribute specify if a compartment will load opened or closed first.

There are 4 events broadcasted: onLoadXML , onLoadContents , onOpenItem and onCloseItem. Use a listener object attached to the accordion in order to retrieve events. We also included a function for opening/closing an item without clicking over it: accordionInstance.openItem(itemNumber).
