LiveDocs is a great way to make a request to the Flex doc
group, but we also participate in this group as well. The advantage to using
LiveDocs is that your comment appears on the Tree API doc page for all
other Flex users to see if they encounter the same issue.

Hi
Jess,
To be
honest I'd completely forgotten about the comments on the LiveDocs. 99% of the
time I use the API docs that came as part of FlexBuilder. But I've added the
livedocs to my favourites now just to see if anyone's added some useful extra
info.
Thanks,
Simon
Did you add that comment to the LiveDocs as well
(about the Tree)?

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex API Docs - Feature request
I've just
requested the following improvement of the Flex API docs because I think they
are lacking some very useful and basic information:
The API
documentation lacks a lot of information that would save a considerable amount
of time looking and testing for the answers - for example, you can find which
node is currently selected in a Tree component by using the Tree.selectedNode
property. The API docs explains that the item returned is dependent on the
type of item selected - fair enough, but what if the user deselects a node so
that no node is selected? I know that its probably going to be undefined, but
why doesn't the API say that, I have to check it before I can carry on with
other coding. This is not the first item that I've had this with, in fact the
only reason I'm asking for this feature request is because there are so many
times that I've thought that the API doc doesn't really cover what I need to
know about the Class. The Java docs are very thorough although not perfect -
I'm not asking for perfection because its not achievable, but the API docs can
be massively improved.
Thinking about it,
if the code was being written "test first" surely a lot of the information
would be there ready.
Kind Regards,
Simon Fifield
