When I click accordion widget it goes to next slide. I just want the "answer" to show and then go on to the next one not slide

I build an accordion widget with four bars.  When I preview and click the "question" the "answer" pops for a second but then goes to the next slide and does not give me time to click the other bars. 

I compared to another accordion widget that works fine and the timing settings are the same but works perfectly.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Well, I somewhat figured it out.  I have "next" and "back" buttons on all the other slides and when I copied them over all of a sudden it didn't automatically go to the next slide.  No idea why but heck it works.  Thanks for the comments

    Another suggestion is to check the timing of the slide itself. I have had instances like yours where the timing for the widgets and other items on the screen are right, but the slide itself was set to 3 seconds and then advanced. Click on the slide in the filmstrip to check that timing.

    Sorry for the duplicate post. I had a glitch.

    Add a button, label it 'Continue' and make it appear after 2- 5 seconds. It should have the default pause of 1.5 seconds added, when you create it.

    Now the user will see the accordion on the slide, which gains their attention. Out of the corner of their eye, they'll register that they can continue when they are finished. and they will be encouraged to explore the interaction.
