Setting styles on individual Flex Accordion headers

Loyal reader, Madhu, asked the following question the other day:

Is it possible to color individual headers of the accordion?

Well, I played around with it briefly this evening and it seems that you can get individual accordion headings using the Accordion class’s getHeaderAt() method, then it is just a matter of saving that reference in a variable, or applying a style directly to the returned Button reference.

The example itself is pretty simple, but I’m sure the same principles apply to other styles as well.
