expandItem() on a node on a Tree works fine when the dataprovider is a hard-coded XML or XMLList in the mxml, but when the dataprovider is a variable of type XML or XMLList, expandItem() doesn't do anything.
code example (should expand the node, but doesn't): --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] private var xlc:XMLList; private function initTree() : void { //xlc = treeData2; var myNode : XMLList = new XMLList(<node label='Buddies'><node label='master' email='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' /> </node>) //treeData2 = "" + treeData2; XML(treeData2).insertChildBefore(treeData2.node[0], myNode); imTree.dataProvider = treeData2; //tried this just in case, but it makes no difference openTreeNodes(); } private function openTreeNodes():void{ //open the first two folders in IM tree imTree.expandItem(treeData2.node[0], true, true); trace("treeData2.node[0] = "+treeData2.node[0]); //trace("treeData2[0] = "+treeData2[0]); //imTree.expandItem(XMLList(imTree.dataprovider)[0], true, true); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:XML id="treeData2"> <tree> <node label="CoWorkers"> <node label="Ewoldt"/> <node label="Swingler"/> </node> <node label="Offline"> <node label ="Bini" /> </node> </tree> </mx:XML> <mx:Tree id="imTree" width="100%" height="100%" labelField="@label" showRoot="false" dataProvider="{treeData2}" creationComplete="initTree()"/> </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
