Accordion.numChildren

Availability

Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).

Edition

Flash MX Professional 2004.

Usage

accordionInstance.numChildren

Description

Property (inherited from View); indicates the number of children (of type UIObject) in an

Accordion instance. Headers are not counted as children.

Each accordion child is given an index number for its position. This index number is zero-

based, so the first child is 0, the second child is 1, and so on. The code

my_acc.numChild -

always refers to the last child added to an accordion. For example, if there were seven

children in an accordion, the last child would have the index 6. The

numChildren property is

not zero-based, so the value of

my_acc.numChildren would be 7. The result of 7 - 1 is 6,

which is the index number of the last child.
