I was having the damnest time adding a little thumbnail component to the inside of a HBox -> inside a VBox -> inside an Accordion...
I had no problem as the code demonstrates inside the first vbox in my accordion: <mx:Accordion id="accordion0" width="334" height="180" resizeToContent="true"> <!-- Define each panel using a VBox container. --> <mx:VBox id="v1" label="Favorite Friends" backgroundColor="#c0c0c0" width="100%" verticalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:HBox x="100" y="100" width="600" height="280" id="stack" verticalScrollPolicy="off" /> </mx:VBox> <mx:VBox id="v2" label="{about_me}" width="100%" height="100%" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%" > <mx:TextArea id="about_profile" htmlText="{about_person}" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%" wordWrap="true" editable="false" fontSize="12" fontWeight="bold" fontFamily="tres"/> </mx:HBox> </mx:VBox> <mx:VBox id="v3" label="Favorites" width="100%" height="143"> <mx:Text id="favorites_" /> </mx:VBox> </mx:Accordion> But below when i try to do my method "stack" to create my component inside my vbox ="v2", it says undefined object or refrence... null... i *think* know i am doing this right, however flex can't find my component ID or something -- why would this be? <mx:Accordion id="accordion0" width="334" height="180" resizeToContent="true"> <!-- Define each panel using a VBox container. --> <mx:VBox id="v1" label="Favorite Friends" backgroundColor="#c0c0c0" width="100%" verticalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%" > <mx:TextArea id="about_profile" htmlText="{about_person}" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%" wordWrap="true" editable="false" fontSize="12" fontWeight="bold" fontFamily="tres"/> </mx:HBox> </mx:VBox> <mx:VBox id="v2" label="{about_me}" width="100%" height="100%" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:HBox x="100" y="100" width="600" height="280" id="stack" verticalScrollPolicy="off" /> </mx:VBox> <mx:VBox id="v3" label="Favorites" width="100%" height="143"> <mx:Text id="favorites_" /> </mx:VBox> </mx:Accordion> Thanks, Patrick -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
