[flexcoders] Re: Add items to an array list as a child

[timgerr]

Thanks for the response, I have a question about arraycollection and
trees.  If I do this:

var myCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{first: 'Matt',
last:'Matthews'}, {first: 'Tom', last: 'Jones'}]);

var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.first = 'lisa';
obj.last = 'griffen';

Object(myCollection[0]).obj = obj;

then create a tree:
<mx:Tree x="137" y="176" width="422" id="meSmallTree"
dataProvider="{myCollection}"
         labelFunction="GetTreeLable" 
click="ItemClicked(event)"></mx:Tree>

I only see the first 2 names, Matt and Tom.  How do I have the new
object show as a child of the Matt?

Thanks,
timgerr

PS, how did you do he color in your code????
