What IS your dataProvider?
You mention "flat array". How are you getting a tree out of a flat array? childIndex() is for XML.

Hi Amy, I've tried your suggestion and am having a problem... The childIndex() method is not available to my object...and I have tried it both with my drag event as well as my ADG with negative results (errors). Here is the function that this lives in: private function dropHandler(event:DragEvent):void { var endIndex:int = event.currentTarget.selectedIndex; alert.info("Index is:" + endIndex); . . . When I replace var endIndex:int = event.currentTarget.selectedIndex; with var endIndex:int = event.currentTarget.selectedItem.childIndex(); I get --> TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. When I try accessing the actual ADG to attempt to get the position var endIndex:int = currentSubgroups.selectedItem.childIndex(); I get the very same error. Additionally, I've also tried: var endIndex:int = currentSubgroups.dataProvider.selectedItem.childIndex(); which gets me --> ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property selectedItem not found on mx.collections.HierarchicalCollectionView and there is no default value. From what little I have been able to find on the net for documentation on the childIndex() method, it all seems to be using an XML data set. Is that part of the problem here...that I am not using an XML dataset or am I mis-applying this method?
