Here is a fragment of my custom renderer code:
override public function set data(value:Object):void 
                {
                super.data = value;
                        if (val...@name == "Customer Reporting" && 
!customerFilterSet)
                        {
                                trace(value);
                                var filter:customerReportingFilter = new 
customerReportingFilter();
                                addChild(filter);
                                filter.data = value;
                                filter.height = 25;
                                filter.width = 280;  
                                customerFilterSet = true;                       
                                                        
                        }
                }
What I am saying here is when a node's text is "Customer Reporting" add another 
child to the item renderer.
I am having problem with value. when I trace it it's blank.

Thanks for help.
