Thanks for the great example.

I have a problem. the sample accordion didn’t work when i use a style sheet. Is there an issue with the style sheet and flex accordion? Thanks.

Hi everythingflex

Your custom accordion is great. Actually I want to add icon in my accordion on the right side of the label instead of left. Is there any way to do that.

Any help from your side will be appreciated.

Thanx

Casting it as a container allows the icon to be set as initially the object type is DisplayObject. Can you send me your source code that is throwing the error? rtretola AT gmail.com

And I even tried :
Accordion (this.getChildAt(i)).icon = upIcon;

But that gave a run time error:
“Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.containers::Canvas@6fd80a1 to mx.containers.Accordion.”

I’m not sure what is happening there either. I thought that would have worked too

This script is cool..
But, I’m really confused about a few lines
Namely, line 127 of of AccordionIcons.as

Why must you import mx.core.Container when AccordionIcons extends Accordion which extends Container? So all the properties of Container should be inherited by AccordionIcons.

You don’t have to cast it to a Container, is this correct?
