Hey ppl 😉

I´ve been following the great video tutorials made by **Lee Brimlow** over at [gotoAndLearn.com](http://www.gotoAndLearn.com) and I´ve built a working video player. So far so good.

I´ve added a accordion component and this works too …

now my problem is …

**Is there a way to set wich “tab” in the accordion component is active through AS ??**

I want to do this because I would like the scrubber to control wich tab is active - have the scrubber to bring up the right tab depending on the current time in the video.

You can point your browsers in this direction to get an idea of what I´m talking about - [GO!](http://84.238.28.254/Get2Grip)

I´ve searched the net and [Macromedia.com](http://Macromedia.com) but it seems there isn´t much useful info about the accordion component. Any help is welcome :beam:

Thnx in advance.
