causes the method to collapse the folder.

specified folder to be opened or closed, based on the
bExpand parameter. This parameter is
optional.
index A zero-based index of the folder to expand or collapse. Use -1 to apply to all layers (you
also must set

method operates on the current layer.

----Layer 5
The following example expands Folder 1 only:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().currentLayer = 1;
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().expandFolder(true);
The following example expands Folder 1 only (assuming that Folder 2 collapsed when Folder 1
last collapsed; otherwise, Folder 2 appears expanded):
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().expandFolder(true, false, 0);
The following example collapses all folders in the current Timeline:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().expandFolder(false, true, -1);
timeline.findLayerIndex()
