Example
The following code creates an instance of the PaymentForm movie clip symbol named payment as
the last child of
myAccordion:
var child = myAccordion.createChild("PaymentForm", "payment", {label:
"Payment", Icon: "payIcon"});
child.cardType.text = "Visa";
child.cardNumber.text = "1234567887654321";
The following code creates a child that is an instance of the View class:
var child = myAccordion.createChild(mx.core.View, "payment", {label:
"Payment", Icon: "payIcon"});
child.cardType.text = "Visa";
child.cardNumber.text = "1234567887654321";
The following code also creates a child that is an instance of the View class, but it uses import to
reference the constructor for the View class:
import mx.core.View
var child = myAccordion.createChild(View, "payment", {label: "Payment", Icon:
"payIcon"});
child.cardType.text = "Visa";
child.cardNumber.text = "1234567887654321";
