If you are using e4x, the descendants() method will return an XMLList of all the, well, descendants.
With this, you would not need to recurse, but could set the checked value in a loop on the XMLList. Note, for this to work correctly, you must set a value on the dataProvider, and have the renderer read this value to set the check-box state.

I want to code inside the renderer itself so that when a node's checkbox is selected, all the children's checkboxes should also be selected. It looks something like this: override protected function createChildren () { ... checkbox = new CheckBox(); checkbox.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick); ... } private function handleClick (event:MouseEvent) { var checked:Boolean = checkbox.selected; processClick (this, checked); } private function processClick (currRenderer, checked) { foreach child { processClick (currRenderer.child, checked); } } The problem is i'm not sure what to be passed to processClick(). I'm looking for a some variables that let me traverse from that node down to all the child. In Flex 1.5, you can use "item" which is the current node. Is there a similar variables in Flex 2? Thank you Vu
