What about automatically opening up just the first panel when loaded? Trying to figure out how to simplify this so that when the component loads the images, the first tab/panel opens automatically as a default....no slideshow needed.

Is this possible?

Open panel The component does not d anything automatically. You need to use the accordion panel's expand(itemId) method to expand the panel you like. In your case, you need to listen for the onLoad event and when it triggers, simply call accordionPanelInstance.expand(0).

Making a menu item a simple button Is it possible to make a menu item (one of the collapsed menu titles) into a simple button instead of an expanding menu? I would like to have a mixture of nonexpanding and expanding titles, so the non expanding ones can just link to something when clicked.

I tried removing the content path from one of the items in the xml but then whole menu freezes and won't work.

Appreciate any help

Making a menu item a simple button Hello


I think that the simplest way to do that is to not create other subitems for those items that should act like buttons. So, if an item dose not has any subitems it will not expand because there is nothing to expand.
Then you can link those items using the " url " attribute from the xml.

Disable Collapse Is there any way to disable the ability to collapse the accordion completely? Or can i somehow put an image to show up behind it on the stage so that if it is collapsed completely they will see something other than a color?

Disable Collapse If you want to disable the Accordion Panel then you will have to disable each panel in part by setting in the xml file the "enable" property of each item to false. Below is a link where you can find more information on how to use xml to sett the Accordion Panel:

I hope this will be helpful but if you still have other question, then please open a new support ticket and write there a detailed description of the problems you have meet in the use of the component and shortly you will get answers to your questions.
