I can use one function to handle the Change event, but how can I say "If a specific checkbox was changed, do something"? Thanks.

I can do things to the accordion and its children from within the CanvasButtonAccordionHeader but can't get into CanvasButtonAccordionHeader from anywhere else. Halp?!

u can use absolute path of the MXML for the headerRender

i.e.

headerRenderer=”view.components.HeaderRenderer”

Any ideas how to get this to work as a component? The error i get is: Could not resolve to a component implementation.

I just had to convert a project to flex3 that uses your accordion header and am getting the compiler issues. G. Doug, did you ever get chance to update this for flex 3?

I tried turning it off in the click method and that works great but there's a problem when you click on others and the previous headers image is still hidden. Could you please suggest how else I may approach this? For I will be needing to attack this from a change event instead of a click event approach. Mainly because I have buttons in my main app controlling as to which accordion pane is selected. I also tried placing a change="functionhere(event)" on the canvasbuttonaccordionheader... but that doesn't do anything... I'm still fresh to FLEX. BTW, I would like to thank you for this really cool component and the other ones too. It has saved me time in the long run.
