acc.height not updated?

(2007-11-15 - views: 4659)
Q: I am trying to get the Accordion to center vertically on the stage using:

stage.addEventListener(EVENT.ENTER_FRAME,centerAccordionTreeMenu);

function centerAccordionTreeMenu(e:Event) {
acc.y = (stage.height / 2) - (acc.height / 2);
}

However when I trace the height of the accordion it never changes from the default value of 100.

A: That is a bug within the as3.0 component. On Monday we will upload the fix. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Also, there is a problem getting AS3 components to display/behave in FireFox with wmode set to transparent, which is a major issue trying to get drop down menu's to integrate into a page since the Flash sits on top of them. I am fairly certain this isn't just an issue for your components as all AS3 components, including the built in components, seem to behave this way.

As a demonstration, open the included AS3 demo for the Accordion Tree Menu v3. Drag a button component from the component library onto the stage. Then publish the file and view the html file in both IE and in FireFox. It should look the same in both browsers and behave properly.

Next, edit the HTML and change the wmode property from window to transparent and again view the file in both browsers. In IE you will see the components just as expected. In FireFox you will not see either component.

If anyone has a fix for this PLEASE post it.
Fix for wmode = transparent in FireFox

This worked for me although I haven't thoroughly tested it, but instead of transparent, set wmode to opaque.
Any word on the update?

Hmm...you should receive an e-mail regarding this update. We've uploaded the fixed version yesterday so you should have it available inside your JumpeyeComponents account. Just login and re-download the menu again...inside the pack you should find the fixed version. Please let us know if you have any problems with this version.
Take care.

As mentioned in the issue, this problem has been fixed. Please try to reinstall the latest version, but first, we recommend you to uninstall the one you have. After re-downloading the package from the downloads list in your jumpeyecomponents account, install the component. Also, don't forget to replace the previous component from the Library of your project with the newly installed one, because Flash only replaces the components in the Components panel and not in the Library.
I don't see the height update
posted by techmak426 on 2009-05-05
I'm sure that i have the latest update to this component - since this thread started before I purchased the component - but i don't see the height update

function sizeHdl($evt:AccordionMenuEvents):void{
trace("SIZE event on item: " + $evt.item+ " " +$evt.target +" "+ $evt.target.height +" " +acc.height);
}
Make sure you have installed the last version of teh component

I have made a test and it works fine for me the menu's height updates each time it is resized . Please make sure that you are using the last version of the component.
