If you are just using dynamic objects, I would pre-process the objects and add parent properties.

So when I click on an end node, I get the id of the node. If I have an id to an object, how can find the parent object and get access to it? Has anyone done this before? Here is my ArrayCollection: private var myDataProvider:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ {Region:"Southwest",ID:"1", children: [ {Region:"Arizona",ID:"2", children: [ {Territory_Rep:"Barbara Jennings", ID:"3"}, {Territory_Rep:"Dana Binn",ID:"4"}]}, {Region:"Central California",ID:"5", children: [ {Territory_Rep:"Joe Smith", ID:"6"}]}, {Region:"Nevada", ID:"7", children: [ {Territory_Rep:"Bethany Pittman",ID:"8"}]}, {Region:"Northern California", ID:"9", children: [ {Territory_Rep:"Lauren Ipsum",ID:"10"}, {Territory_Rep:"T.R. Smith",ID:"11"}]}, {Region:"Southern California",ID:'12', children: [ {Territory_Rep:"Alice Treu", ID:'13'}, {Territory_Rep:"Jane Grove",ID:"14"}]} ]} ]); Thanks for the read, happy TGiving , timgerr
