Q: How do I add the AccordionTreeMenuV3 on stage in runtime?
A: Here is the script you have to adapt to your project.
var acc:AccordionTreeMenuV3;
//create a listener, to find when the button is pressed
var lis = new Object()
buttonOne.addEventListener("click", lis)
lis.click = function (event:Object)
{
// when the button is pressed, we call de attachMenu function to create another AccordionTreeMenuV3AS3
attachMenu("buttonOneXML.xml")
}
// the function that attach a new AccordionTreeMenuV3AS3.
function attachMenu(xm:String)
{
// if another menu already exist, we remove it.
if(acc != null)
removeMovieClip(acc)
// we create the menu.
acc = this.attachMovie("AccordionTreeMenuV3","acc",this.getNextHighestDepth())
// set the xml for the menu.
acc.xmlPath = xm;
// we set the width of it (initial is 100).
acc.width = 200
//we set a random position, to know that a new menu was created.
acc._x = Math.random(100)*350
}
var acc:AccordionTreeMenuV3;
//create a listener, to find when the button is pressed
var lis = new Object()
buttonOne.addEventListener("click", lis)
lis.click = function (event:Object)
{
// when the button is pressed, we call de attachMenu function to create another AccordionTreeMenuV3AS3
attachMenu("buttonOneXML.xml")
}
// the function that attach a new AccordionTreeMenuV3AS3.
function attachMenu(xm:String)
{
// if another menu already exist, we remove it.
if(acc != null)
removeMovieClip(acc)
// we create the menu.
acc = this.attachMovie("AccordionTreeMenuV3","acc",this.getNextHighestDepth())
// set the xml for the menu.
acc.xmlPath = xm;
// we set the width of it (initial is 100).

Place the component into the Library
In order for the above code to work, you need to have the component into your project's Library and have a .xml file called buttonOneXML.xml in the same folder with your flash file.

Trouble embedding fonts at runtime
For some reason, I can't seem to embed my chosen fonts at runtime when I use this script. I am able to set all of the other properties correctly. Do I need to use the embedFonts property within a onDrawComplete event handler? Please help.

@mlandfield
You need to have that font embedded in the Library, otherwise it will not be found in your Flash clip and the menu will not be able to use it. Here is a tutorial on how to embed fonts in the Library: http://www.jumpeyecomponents.com/publicfiles/tutorials/embeding_fonts.htm.
