Subclasses | HAccordion, VAccordion

AccordionBase is a copy/paste version of the original Accordion class in the Flex framework. <p>The only modifications made to this class were to change some properties and methods from private to protected so we can override them in a subclass.</p> <p>An Accordion navigator container has a collection of child containers, but only one of them at a time is visible. It creates and manages navigator buttons (accordion headers), which you use to navigate between the children. There is one navigator button associated with each child container, and each navigator button belongs to the Accordion container, not to the child. When the user clicks a navigator button, the associated child container is displayed. The transition to the new child uses an animation to make it clear to the user that one child is disappearing and a different one is appearing.</p> <p>The Accordion container does not extend the ViewStack container, but it implements all the properties, methods, styles, and events of the ViewStack container, such as <codeph>selectedIndex</codeph> and <codeph>selectedChild</codeph>.</p> <p>An Accordion container has the following default sizing characteristics:</p> <adobetable class="innertable"> <tgroup cols="2"><thead><row><entry>Characteristic</entry><entry>Description</entry></row></thead><tbody><row> <entry>Default size</entry> <entry>The width and height of the currently active child.</entry> </row><row> <entry>Container resizing rules</entry> <entry>Accordion containers are only sized once to fit the size of the first child container by default. They do not resize when you navigate to other child containers by default. To force Accordion containers to resize when you navigate to a different child container, set the resizeToContent property to true.</entry> </row><row> <entry>Child sizing rules</entry> <entry>Children are sized to their default size. The child is clipped if it is larger than the Accordion container. If the child is smaller than the Accordion container, it is aligned to the upper-left corner of the Accordion container.</entry> </row><row> <entry>Default padding</entry> <entry>-1 pixel for the top, bottom, left, and right values.</entry> </row></tbody></tgroup></adobetable>

|  | fillAlphas | Type: Array CSS Inheritance: no Deprecated Since 3.0: Please Use headerStyleName Specifies the alpha transparency values used for the background fill of components. You should set this to an Array of either two or four numbers. Elements 0 and 1 specify the start and end values for an alpha gradient. If elements 2 and 3 exist, they are used instead of elements 0 and 1 when the component is in a mouse-over state. The global default value is [ 0.60, 0.40, 0.75, 0.65 ]. Some components, such as the ApplicationControlBar container, have a different default value. For the ApplicationControlBar container, the default value is [ 0.0, 0.0 ]. | AccordionBase
|  | fillColors | Type: Array Format: Color CSS Inheritance: no Deprecated Since 3.0: Please Use headerStyleName Specifies the colors used to tint the background fill of the component. You should set this to an Array of either two or four uint values that specify RGB colors. Elements 0 and 1 specify the start and end values for a color gradient. If elements 2 and 3 exist, they are used instead of elements 0 and 1 when the component is in a mouse-over state. For a flat-looking control, set the same color for elements 0 and 1 and for elements 2 and 3, The default value is [ 0xFFFFFF, 0xCCCCCC, 0xFFFFFF, 0xEEEEEE ]. Some components, such as the ApplicationControlBar container, have a different default value. For the ApplicationControlBar container, the default value is [ 0xFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFF ]. | AccordionBase
|  | focusAlpha | Type: Number CSS Inheritance: no Deprecated Since 3.0: Please Use headerStyleName Specifies the alpha transparency value of the focus skin. The default value is`0.4`. | AccordionBase
|  | focusRoundedCorners | Type: String CSS Inheritance: no Deprecated Since 3.0: Please Use headerStyleName Specifies which corners of the focus rectangle should be rounded. This value is a space-separated String that can contain any combination of "tl", "tr", "bl" and "br". For example, to specify that the right side corners should be rounded, but the left side corners should be square, use "tr br". The cornerRadius style property specifies the radius of the rounded corners. The default value depends on the component class; if not overridden for the class, default value is "tl tr bl br". | AccordionBase
|  | focusSkin | Type: Class CSS Inheritance: no Deprecated Since 3.0: Please Use headerStyleName Skin used to draw the focus rectangle. The default value is`mx.skins.halo.HaloFocusRect`. | AccordionBase
|  | focusThickness | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Deprecated Since 3.0: Please Use headerStyleName Thickness, in pixels, of the focus rectangle outline. The default value is`2`. | AccordionBase
|  | headerHeight | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Height of each accordion header, in pixels. The default value is automatically calculated based on the font styles for the header. | AccordionBase
|  | headerStyleName | Type: String CSS Inheritance: no Name of the CSS style declaration that specifies styles for the accordion headers (tabs). You can use this class selector to set the values of all the style properties of the AccordionHeader class, including fillAlphas, fillColors, focusAlpha, focusRounderCorners, focusSkin, focusThickness, and selectedFillColors. | AccordionBase
|  | horizontalGap | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Number of pixels between children in the horizontal direction. The default value is 8. | AccordionBase
|  | openDuration | Type: Number Format: Time CSS Inheritance: no Duration, in milliseconds, of the animation from one child to another. The default value is 250. | AccordionBase
|  | openEasingFunction | Type: Function CSS Inheritance: no Tweening function used by the animation from one child to another. | AccordionBase
|  | paddingBottom | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Number of pixels between the container's bottom border and its content area. The default value is -1, so the bottom border of the last header overlaps the Accordion container's bottom border. | AccordionBase
|  | paddingTop | Type: Number Format: Length CSS Inheritance: no Number of pixels between the container's top border and its content area. The default value is -1, so the top border of the first header overlaps the Accordion container's top border. | AccordionBase
|  | selectedFillColors | Type: Array Format: Color CSS Inheritance: no Deprecated Since 3.0: Please Use headerStyleName The two colors used to tint the background of the component when in its selected state. Pass the same color for both values for "flat" looking control. The default value is undefined, which means the colors are derived from themeColor. | AccordionBase
