Hi Peter,

how would you go about sequentially moving (back and forth) through the list of child elements using ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ buttons? And, in this scenario is there a way to prevent an accordion item opening when the header is clicked? What I’m looking to do is control the accordion only by the Prev and Next buttons.

dormouse,

The easiest fix would be to change this line:

private function comboBox_change(evt:ListEvent):void {

To this:

private function comboBox_change(evt:Event):void {

Note: I haven’t tested this, but it should work.

I’ll play around with this tonight after work and see if something changed between Flex 2.0.1 and Flex 3.

I assume you’re using Flex 2.0.1, correct?

Peter

the problem:

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.events:Event to a possibly unrelated type mx.events:ListEvent.
