Usage
accordionInstance.selectedChild
Description
Property; the selected child (of type UIObject) if one or more children exist; undefined if no
children exist.
If the accordion has children, the code
accordionInstance.selectedChild is equivalent to
the code
accordionInstance.getChildAt(accordionInstance.selectedIndex).
Setting this property to a child causes the accordion to begin the transition animation to
display the specified child.
Changing the value of
selectedChild also changes the value of selectedIndex.
If the accordian has children, the default value is accordionInstance.getChildAt(0). If
the accordion doesn’t have children, the default value is
undefined.
