Everything you have asked about can be done, but if you don't know
action script, you're going to have to start learning it.
First of all, I would make sure you have upgraded to CF 7.01. There are
a number of fixes and enhancements in there for flash forms.
Your accordion object has a selectedIndex property (case sensitive).
Valid indexes for you will be 0, 1, and 2.
Action script seems to work well as an event driven language, but you
need to set up listeners on your grid to capture these events like
cellPress etc.
You will need an onload function that is called in the onload="",
attribute of your cfform tag. (requires MX 7.01)
I'm not sure what you mean by "open that piece automatically" but I
assume you want to have a certain fold of your accordion open on page
load. If that is what you mean, then once again, use your
meAccordian.selectedIndex = 1; thing in the onload function.
On your second question, when you say "open a new cfml page an pass an
id"
Do you mean navigate away from the current page and go to a new page in
the same window, or do you want a popup page?
If either of those are in fact what you mean, the answer is similar.
There may be more than one way to do this but this is what I have done:
Place this code in a function which is called by the onload tag in the
cfform
var listenerbject = {};
//put the controls in scope to avoid calling _root
var myGrid:mx.controls.DataGrid = myGrid;
listener.onRowPress = function(event):Void
{
alert('the onRowPress event has been fired. Details are contained in the
event object');
getURL("http://www.yahoo.com";);
// OR...
var clicked_row;
var order_id;
double_clicked_row = grd_reconcile.getItemAt(event.row); // Pull
clicked row out of event object
order_id = clicked_row['order_id']; // Order_id is a column in my grid.
I want the order_id for this selected row.
var urlString =
"index.cfm?fa=prog_accounting_escrow.report_file_ledger&order_id=" +
order_id // I build my url here
getURL("javascript: uploadWin=window.open('" + urlString
+"','uploadWin','width=900, height=500, left=100,top=100,
toolbar=No,location=No, scrollbars=Yes, status=No,
resizable=Yes,menubar=No,fullscreen=No'); uploadWin.focus();"); // And
then call up some javascript to open the url
}
myGrid.addEventListener('onRowPress',listener);
Please check out www.asfusion.com -- they have a wealth of information a
live examples of this stuff.
Also, http://cfpim.blogspot.com/ is not quite as helpful, but still has
a lot of random examples of stuff I have used.
I will tell you this, my first cfform used a grid, a handful of fields,
flash remoting, and filtering and it is literally 88% action script and
only 12% form. Flash forms use the Flex architecture in the background
even though you don't purchase flex. You can do just about anything in
action script, but very little functionality is exposed to you in the
actual cfform and cfgrid tags.
I'll quit rambling now. Let me know if anything I have said so far
makes sense. :)

Subject: FlashForms
I am currently attempting to work with flash forms and I am a first
timer
(as of today).
I am using an according style form.
The first page has a data grid pulled from my database.
The second page shows the data of the selected name
The third page will provide a form to create a new account.
My first question is, when you click on a name in the data grid, is
there
anyway to make it automatically open the second accordion page to show
the
account details.
Currently I have the grid working and the detail page working, but don't
know how, if there is a way to make it open that piece automatically.
My second question is, how in the heck do you make a row in the datagrid
of
a flash form open a new cfml page an pass an id from the selected row?
