Method; expands or collapses the specified folder or folders. If you do not specify a layer, this method operates on the
current layer.
Example
The following examples use this folder structure:
Folder 1 ***
--layer 7
--Folder 2 ****
----Layer 5
The following example expands Folder 1 only:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().currentLayer = 1;
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().expandFolder(true);
The following example expands Folder 1 only (assuming that Folder 2 collapsed when Folder 1 last collapsed;
otherwise, Folder 2 appears expanded):
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().expandFolder(true, false, 0);
The following example collapses all folders in the current timeline:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().expandFolder(false, true, -1);
