Accordion Bookmark Widget

Question

Is the creator of this sample:

http://gis.asfinag.at/GIS/synserver?project=standorte&client=flex

active in the forum? I'm really interested to know how he/she created their "accordion bookmark" widget. It would work perfectly for a project I'm working on where I have nations, regions, countries, etc.

If you're out there, I'd love to hear from you. If you have an understanding of how he/she went about this, I'd be interested in hearing from you, too.

Thanks

Justin, In most cases have two of the same widgets in your viewer is not hard at all... All you need to do is copy the Bookmark folder and paste it back into the widgets folder renaming it Bookmark2 then in your main config file it would look like: This untested by work for other widgets just fine.

Robert,

Yeah, I saw that and actually got a demo account with them. I was hoping somebody here had an idea how they developed that widget, though - it's one of the better I've seen. I think I might take a different tactic, though. I might set up my application so that when you click on a region in the bookmark widget, *another* bookmark widget pops open with names of the specific states within that region. I'm not sure how to do that yet, but I'm hoping I'll be able to learn a bit more when I attend ESRI's Flex API training next week.

If you have any advice on how to accomplish the "two bookmark widgets open at once" trick, Robert, I'd love to hear it. Thanks, as always, for taking time to respond to my posts.

Justin,

A little digging and you will find that the component in question is part of WebOffice 6 Flex Version, a German international esri distributor called SynerGIS. That component is just on of there standard controls.
