Are you referring to just the text box or the fact the once the boxes are expanded it repositions the remainder of the content?

[leewalker87]

i am refering to both allowing the text boxes to expand and contract and the repositioning of the remainder of the content on the page so the page layout stays the same

[leewalker87]

i have got as far as developing a text box with a mask that automatically expands via a tween but not sure how to get the tween to only work when the + or - is clicked on the topic

i have attached the Fla with as far as i have got so far.

I'll have a look at it later on tonight.

not sure which was it easier i found a step by step guide to tween is AS3 but cant once again this is only up to the same part not sure which 1 you will find easier to look at

[Robb@exo]

I did it in AS2... hope this is what you're looking for.
