at the expense of looking like a total idiot, I'll show you the janky way I did it though:
I created an XMLList from an xml string called XMLDoc. I set the dataProvider of the tree with the XMLList then did this:
tree.expandItem(XMLDoc.children().parent(), true);
This seems retarded, and I know there's a very simple "hey, just access XMLDoc.root" type of thing, so that's why I'm posting this ;)
Thanks agian for the help,
Binding
Ah ok yeah ;) I'll try that - thanks TracyOn 6/1/06, Tracy Spratt < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:If you want to open the root tree node, use the root node of the dataProvider xml. Are you binding or using a result handler?

Yeah, I saw that, but how do I get "item"? That's what's throwing the error
tree.selectedItem = 0 - I get an error
Thoughts?

Use tree1.expandItem([item:Object],openorclose:Boolean).
item:Object would be the root node of the xml dataProvider.

This no longer works in beta3, any updates on how it's actually done?
Expanding a tree node
By default, theTreecontrol displays the root nodes of thetreewhen it first opens. If you want to expand a node of the
treewhen thetreeopens, you can use thesetIsOpen()method of theTreecontrol. The following example calls this method as part of the handler for thecreationCompleteevent to expand the first root node of thetree: <mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function initTree(){
tree1.setIsOpen(tree1.getNodeDisplayedAt(0), true);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Treeid="tree1" ... creationComplete="initTree();" >
...
</mx:Tree>
