Graphics below the accordion panel

(2008-04-10 - views: 4105)

Q: Is there a way to place some graphics below the accordion panel component, that would move at the same time when it collapses and expands the items ?

A: The solution is to create an extra style for the last item that contains empty movie clips for the header clip (the header will not be displayed and used). Next, using the xml file, add the last item in the <data> node, containing the path to that graphics you need to use. In the xml file, for this last item, set the contentSize attribute to the size you need, the expanded attribute to "true", the title should be an empty String and the contentEvents attribute to "false". Also set the style attribute for this item to the new style created in the .xml file. Here is an example of the node:
<item title="" contentPath="InternalClip" contentSize="300" contentEvents="false" expanded="true" style="style2" />

Also, the component has to have the expandMode property set to "all".

If you have a panel with two items. Is it possible to have two buttons, elsewhere in the swf, activate the panel items? Click button one and panel one opens, click button two and panel one closes and panel two opens. Is there an example for this?

Yes you can make that very simple by using the component's "expand ()" method which expands a folder item identified by its id. Please check the link bellow in order to find all the component's properties events and methods.
