Very important to read!
Features:
1. Supports unlimited images.
2. Supports html formatted description text.
3. Fully customizable – XML driven.
4. Images loaded from external folder.
Really important! Please read very carefully.
You can add unlimited number of images to the accordion, and customize it to any swf and image size.
The file has been updated and some BIG issues have been addressed. I recommend this FREE update to all that bought the file. I added the features MOST of you requested, and I cleaned the code a bit.
1. The file is contained in a single movieclip, and this way I was able to mask everything to fit nicely on the stage. This means the file can now easily be used in other Flash files as well.
2. The _root has been removed from the code, and instead I’ve change the paths accordingly. This is another improvement so that the file can be used in other Flash files too.
3. I’ve added much more functionality in the XML as well as inside the file, and you can read about it below.
The current version now includes flashvars variables, so that one doesn’t need to edit anything in Flash. Simply edit the html code.
I’ve included an example that doesn’t use flashvars as well, just in case you plan to use the file in another way. The only changes are the way those variables were passed.
There is a new help file included, which I am hoping everybody will read.
Inside index.html you’ll see this line of code:
var so = new SWFObject("Accordion.swf?keepSelected=false&selectedWindow=0&imageWidth=315&imageHeight=300&sWidth=590&sHeight=300", "sotester", "590", "300", "8", "#000000");You can see I am sending these variables to the swf file:
keepSelected = false // if set to true, the selected image will always be displayed. This was a request and I thought I should add it.
selectedWindow = 0 // you can write any number between 0 and the number of images you set. If you want to keep the selected image but start with no image, set the selected window to -1
imageWidth = the images width. All images need to be the same width.
imageHeight = the images height. All images SHOULD be the same height. I would suggest you to keep the images height equal to the swf height.
sWidth = the width of the swf file. Note you also need to set it were it's sent as a parameter, in the above line of code. The value is 590 and is sent twice. You need to do the same.
sHeight = the height of the swf file. Note you also need to set it were it’s sent as a parameter, in the above line of code. The value is 300 and is sent twice. You need to do the same. (I'm not refering the the imageHeight variable)
slideshow = true - this will enable auto slideshow between the slides of the Accordion
color="0x000000" alphaColor="0"

Hey Bobo, I could really use your help. I have followed this guide to a T [http://www.design.aus120.com/design/flash-headline-in-arthemia-theme/] yet when I preview my site the Accordion doesnt show up, and when I preview the index.html it says “Get Adobe Flash Player” and when i check the preview.swf file it looks off as well [http://www.rbgmagazine.com/wp-content/themes/arthemia/preview.swf] – How can i get this to work? I desperately request your help on this! thank you for your consideration.

Rbgmagazine; the instructions on that site are for the old version of swfobject.js and the old Flash script. I have written down the instructions on how I implemented the new script into my site where I’m using the Arthemia Theme here: http://snuppa.krissi.net/?p=2594

Hi!
First of all, great job! It all works very good! But I want to use SWF files instead of images. That works, but the SWFs are all loaded from the beginning. And I want them to go to the next SWF when it’s finished. Is there a way to tell the SWF to load when present? Can I set the time of each slide?
Thanks,
Sven

Hi bobocel,
Thanks for the great file. looks like this thread keeps you very busy! I am wondering if there is a simple way that I could replace the colorfade effect with a movie clip… basically I want to set up a gradient that goes from bottom to top (I may even use an image for this effect dependant on how it comes out) rather than the flat colour.
Any suggestion would be welcome.
thanks!

One more question that may be covered already (but there’s waaaaay too many posts to dig through…
Once the mouse leaves the accordion I want the whole thing to return to the first image (which is the one I have opening when it begins).
Is that possible?
thanks!

Me again-
Don’t worry about the last question I think it works fine without that function.
I have a big problem with scaling the clip.
I am calling this movie into a clip within another movie. I have it masked just fine and the height is perfect, all the images load great etc… but it is currently basing the width of the entire movie on how much stage space I have rather than the swidth I am trying to specify (632 pixels). This means that I always lose an image or more behind the mask
I have no intentions of it ever being a different width than 632 pixels is there a way I can make sure it scales to that? (sorry if I missed something)
I have watched all your movies, read all your instruction files and dug through all whole bunch of these posts here but don’t see the answer- I hope its something simple!
cheers

Ignore the last post.
Managed to solve my width problem – had been tweaking a lot of variables and messed something up
.
Hi geradon,
sorry, I ask you how to fix the trouble with the width? I was working on this almost 1 week then I gave up and ( just guess what I did with that file … that’s so easy to putt in another flash site ) Ha ha ha… ?:-]
Anyway, if somebody able to give me advice I will try again
Thanks

Hi!
We’ve built a web site with several pages, each containing your accordian menu.
Is it possible that the initial image on any page, prior to applying the accordian feature, remain static and not slide into view.
Thus, the only image movement is that of the accordian feature, not after image refresh and not after switching to a new HTML page.
Can this be accomplished ?
Of course, movement should still be associated with each accordian menu selection within each HTML page.
Thank you!

Hi bobocel,
I purchased your Accordion v.1 , looks sweet and appears to be very flexible! “You can add unlimited number of images to the accordion, and customize it to any swf and image size.”
I think saundersmktg and I share the same problem; I need only to show 4 bars/images. I already edited the accordion.xml to include only 4 but if i delete the extra items it does not work. It seems it must have a minimum of 5. How can I make it for only 4? I think i saw if (pct > 5) in the action script code but I’m not sure what to do. I never worked with action script.
I’m using firefox on a PC, everything works fine from local directory with 5 or more images.
Thanks, f10studio

As you guys can see, the preview file isn’t working anymore. I contacted FlashDen, as they moved files around, and now my preview files are again broken.
You can purchase with no fear, the files work flawlessly. 
The file should be updated next week, so the preview will work then. Thanks! 
Hi there bobocel.
I am trying to include your swf flash file within a .php flash file. I have tried to use this:
var so = new SWFObject(“primeguards.swf?keepSelected=f&selectedWindow=2&imageWidth=230&imageHeight=125&sWidth=900&sHeight=125”, “sotester”, “900”, “125”, “8”, ”#000000”
;
so.addParam(“allowFullScreen”, “true”
;
so.write(“flashcontent”
;
to show it within the page, however it is not displaying at all with IE or Mozilla. Is there a script to put it within a .php page, with relative links to .accordion?
I would value your most urgent response.

first of all I want to thank you for such a good job. I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the direction in which to open the accordion, that instead of opening to the right that opens to the left
