Getting accurate accordion height

(2008-03-28 - views: 2710)

Q: Is it possible to get the height of the component? accordionInstance.height returns the height plus content height. So if the accordion is 400 and content height is 150 then the returned height is 550 - even though all headers are collapsed.
A: There's an undocumented event called "onMotionFinished", dispatched when the component finishes the expand or collapse tween. The event object received by the event handler has a property called totalHeight, which represents the final height of the component (after the tween is complete):

import com.jumpeye.Events.AccordionPanelEvents;

myAccPanel.addEventListener("onMotionFinished", motionHandler);

function motionHandler(evt:AccordionPanelEvents):void {
    trace("Accordion panel height :: "+evt.totalHeight);
}

That sounds good but...

What if I need to check the size while it is expanding? I have some graphics below the accordion that needs to follow it as it expands or collapses. I am using a trick now where I actually add a dummy accordion item at the bottom with no header height (so it is invisible) and then onEnterFrame I check the y position of that element - and position my graphics there. That can not be the best way ;)

Your solution for getting the height actually is not so bad, but if you need to have some graphics below the component, there is another solution to it: http://www.jumpeyecomponents.com/knowledgebase/Accordion-Panel-V3/Graphics-below-the-accordion-panel~466/.
AS3?

This solution doesn't seem to work for AS3. I get an error: "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: AccordionPanelEvents..

Most probable that error occurs because you forgot to import the AccordionPanelEvents.
You will have to add to your code the bellow line of code in order to get rid of that error.

import com.jumpeye.Events.AccordionPanelEvents;

I hope this helped you out.
