Q: Is there anyway to hyperlink the images in each panel?

A: You need to add the contentEvents attribute to the xml node of each menu item and set its value to "true". You also need to have an attribute that contains the url to the location you need. This attribute MUST NOT be called url. In the example file, this attribute is called urlPath. Next you need to listen for the onPress or onRelease events and in the handler function check to see if whether the content was clicked or not. Then you can get the value of the urlPath attribute for the current item and navigate your way there.
