Horizontal and Vertical Accordion Rounded Corners

[UPDATE 16th October]
The slideshow and stayOpen features of the accordion have been improved. The slideshow can now be set to play only once before stopping, or to loop continuously.

The stayOpen feature now has an added slideOpen option. This allows you to set a slide as being open when the accordion initialises. Any slide can be chosen.

Interactivity
I have added some examples to the download to show people how to use interactivity with the accordion. These examples show you how to use buttons in loaded SWF movies. They also show you how to use accordion events (accordionRollOver and accordionRollOut) to control your loaded SWFs.
