IGuideView  - AS3 ADEP Guides

The IGuideView interface provides a view to the guide sections and panels and can be used as a data provider. It also supports a selected item in the view. Aside from the selected item/index, this data provider is read only. Whenever the guide adds or removes sections or panels, a view will automatically be updated.

Several guide view instances can be created at a time, for example, one view can contain the list of sections, and another view can contain a list of panels. Changing the selected item in one view will cause a change to the selected item in all guide views.

For example, selecting a panel in a panel view will cause a section view to select that panel’s section. Selecting a section will cause the panel view to select the first panel in that section.

We can have hierarchical guide views where sections are the top most items and the leaves are panels. In this case, the selected index represents the index amongst the panels. In a tree structure like this, a section can never be the selected item. Any attempts to select a section will cause the first panel in that section to be the selected item.
