I have been playing with flex a bit lately, doing the tutorials, some web examples from the blogs (ty all ;p )
I decided to try to rebuild a basic web page that currently lists all the scripts I created for After Effects in Flex2B3. What I am stuck on is trying to have an accordion navigator change the content in a specific canvas. I currently have setup states to do this. Thinking that I would be able to setup a function that would test the accordions selected id vs a list of states and change accordingly I setup the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:states> <mx:State name="BackBurnerSubmitUI"> <mx:SetProperty target="{text1}" name="text" value="Backburner page text"/> </mx:State> <mx:State name="BackupProject"> <mx:SetProperty target="{text1}" name="text" value="BackupProject page text"/> </mx:State> <mx:State name="Calc"> <mx:SetProperty target="{text1}"

Second question: If you click on the Main accordion header you will see it opens a whitespace even tho the height field is set to 0. I assume this is because of the resizeToContent="true" flag, but I cannot find any way to adjust the whitespace numbers. tia and I am glad to find this list resource, In the future I hope to be able to leverage Flex with the other adobe suite apps using bridgetalk or ajax.
