Question

How do I hide a child in a accordion? Using visible doesn’t seem to work and enabled isn’t what I’m after.

<mx:Accordion> <mx:VBox width='100%' height='100%' label='Foo' id='viewOverview' visible='false'> ... </mx:VBox> ... </mx:Accordion>

I think you can’t hide it. Strange that the visible property doesn’t work… Anyway, I would control the children through code and remove and insert them as needed by the app. Hiding:

function hideFoo():void {     this.theAccordion.removeChild(this.vboxFoo); } 

You’ll probably want to keep a reference to the ‘hidden’ child so that you can add it later again.
