You could try programatically opening and closing the accordion on something like creationComplete to force the creation of the components in the repeater. I would second avoiding repeaters. I have found with a little creativity you can do much better with basic lists and custom item renders. This gives you a lot more control over the creation of the child components.

Add this to the MXML of your accordion

creationPolicy="all"

It will then create everything at the beginning so those children will be there for you to reference.
