[flexcoders] recurse tree and set selectedNode

[kengaree]

Hello,
I am trying to reset the selectedNode property on the tree control
after I have changed a value in the dataProvider
with this retrieveNode() function...
private function retrieveNode(theNode):TreeNode{
  for(var index in theNode.getChildNodes()){
    var node:TreeNode = TreeNode(theNode.getChildNodes()[index]);
        if(node.getData().periodID == view.txtPeriodID.text){   
          return theNode.getTreeNodeAt(index);
        }
        retrieveNode(node);
  }
}

view.treeCalendar.selectedNode =
retrieveNode(view.treeCalendar.dataProvider);

why won't the treeCalendar.selectedNode property accept this value?
But this getTreeNode() function will work?

private function getTreeNode() {
  if (view.txtPeriodID.text != null) {
    var node:TreeNode =
TreeNode(view.treeCalendar.dataProvider.getChildNodes()[0]);
    while (node != null) {
      if(node.getData().periodID == view.txtPeriodID.text){     
        return node;
      }
      node = TreeNode(node.getChildNodes()[0]);
    }
  }
  return null;
}
