Sorry guys, I am totally brain dead today -
It's so weird, how you get accustom to specific syntax for some V2
controls, and when working with a different one, you expect some type of
consistency - and you get so focused looking for something, that you
flat out overlook the answer.
Sorry to post these questions to the list - if I read the Help Docs
without having my blinders on, I would have found the answer. In fact,
I did find the answers on my own, shortly after posting my last reply to
the list.
I must say though, after reading every single thread regarding the
Accordion Control, it has plenty of limitations, and has caused many
people lots of headaches.
Thank you again everybody, I am always grateful for your advice.
Mike :)

selectedIndex - duh!
For some reason, I was looking for something specific, therefore
overlooking the obvious.
Still, how to address a MovieClip that has been instantiated by the
Accordion Control continues to evade me. It must be some type of
child property, but I am still skimming the help docs for the
answer.
If anybody has a quick answer on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Mike

Subject: [Flashcoders] Controlling Accordion using ActionScript
Hello All,
I literally read ALL the posts in the Archives regarding the Accordion
component, and there was no mention of what I need.
It seems as if the Accordion is only setup to broadcast certain
events, when the Accordion itself is actually clicked on.
My goal is to remotely control my Accordion control, so that there are
multiple ways to cause the Sliding Animation. I have a top MenuBar,
in which I want options available, to cause the Accordion Control to
animate to the proper Child.
Am I missing something, or is the Accordion simply not designed for
this?
Also, how can I communicate with MovieClips contained within the
Accordion Children? It seems as if the Accordion Control is acting as
a Container - so must I first create a variable that refers to the
Contents of the Accordion, before I can communicate with the
Children's components? There is no reference to this topic either.
Kind of like the Window Control - myWindow.content.controls?
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Mike
