If you have FBPro, something like var HC:HierarchicalCollectionView = HierarchicalCollectionView(new HierarchicalData(myDataProvider)); parentItem:Object = HC.getParentItem(yourObject); Note that this only works if you have the _entire_ object, not just the ID. It also needs to be the _same_ object, not a different object with the same information. HTH; Amy
