Advanced Xml Accordion

Here you will find information on Advanced XML Accordion. 

By default the .SWF file will try and load the xml file "content.xml" from the file location xml/content.xml. If you want to pass the xml file location through FlashVars, then you need to open the .FLA file, go to line 82, uncomment that line. Then go to line 83, and comment out that line. Save file, and export to get a new .SWF file. Then you are able to pass the xml file location through FlashVars.

Note : I have been told from a very helpful customer, that if you are having display problems in IE7, that the cause might be the variables sw and sh which are by default set to use the stageWidth and stageHeight values of the .SWF file. Simply replacing the values of sw and sh to real values e.g 500 should fix the problem.

In both of the examples in the download, depending on SWF file size and layout, images are 100px less in either width or height. You will need to have your images smaller than the SWF size for the actionscript to work.



Recommendation(s)

I’m writing this letter in enthusiastic praise of a Flashden.net author by the name of Skial Bainn.

On it’s own, this is the best Accordion XML product on the market that I’ve found….and for the few dollars it cost, I’m beside myself with the value it provided for me. It’s actually the center piece of a site I’m working on for a client and you can bet I’m charging a heck of a lot more then this product costs. The client is thrilled with the functionality which makes me thrilled to have found it, thanks to Skial.

Now here’s is the part that really sets Skial above the rest. Never before in my experience have I found such professional dedication to the support of his products as with Skial. I’ve hired private Actionscript tutors for big money that have been less responsive and less professional then this particular Flashden author, Skial. Skial will answer you email as promptly as humanly possible, he will provide you with a solution and won’t quit until it’s a solution that works for you.

Skial has gone waaay above and beyond the call of duty for me in his support of the product I purchased form him – the Advanced XML Accordion – In fact, I’ve requested help from him at least a half a dozen times asking to customize his product for my purposes that are entirely out of the scope of what the product itself is supposed to do. The help he’s provided me, helped me and only me, without regard for the fact that the time he spent on my behalf was not to improve his product, since I made requests that no one else had made, it was to ensure a satisfied customer. Needless to say, I’m more then satisfied…I’m completely beside myself in appreciation for Skial’s support of my project which features his product. No one can expect an author to help him or her with their private project but in going beyond just the support of his product, he did just that for me…and that’s why I’m writing this letter of recommendation. It’s the least I can do!!

Sincerely, ezFlash member of Flashden
