Making A Flash MX 2004 Accordion Component
The accordion component can be built entirely by using the Component Inspector, and is new in Flash MX 2004 Professional. It contains a number of children movie clips, only one of which is displayed at a time. To navigate between each of these child movie clips the accordion component provides a header button for that child that the user clicks to view the child. The children can contain any information that you can have in a Flash movie clip – they can display text, images, movies of sections of a form that the user needs to fill out.
