Hi guys, I can't seem to get transparent=false to work when creating a BitmapData. I'm using it as a dragproxy, and I get a white box instead of nothing when I do the following: var bmd : BitmapData = new BitmapData(dragInitiator.width, dragInitiator.height, true);

So the colour value is a 32 bi argb instead of just 24 bit rgb then? Well that makes sense :) Where else in flex is a colour value 32 bit instead of 24 bit? Is it all over the place and I've just never noticed? What about in styles? -J On Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 3:39 AM, Troy Gilbert [EMAIL

I don't think I'd call that a real tree, but what you're looking for probably exists in the form of a toggle rather than radio-style variation on Flex's mx:Accordion component, where you can have more than one child open at once. You should be able to google up something like that, but check
