It looks as though it is not a true window. I don't think I would have done it the way you have (But who am I to tell you how to do something ;-).
Does it still happen with only one accordion item? Maybe it's a deferred instantiation problem in the tab navigator. What happens if you set all tabs to instantiate? I really don't think this is something we are going to be able to figure out in a forum and posting code is obviously out of the question. If I can free up some time I may respond to your ad. --- In [email protected], "edlueze" <edlu...@...> wrote: > > Hi Steve - everybody: > > The FlexMDI definitely looks interesting!
