Hi Malik, I have never exactly populated a tree with straight query data, i usually convert it to xml first within the cfc that i'm calling, and i return a string from that cfc... it took some playing with but i eventually got it...
google the following: "using cfxml returning it to flex?" or something along those lines... that will teach you how to convert your query to xml... but the thing is, flex doesn't want the actual xml doc from coldfusion, it wants the valid string format... here is my example http://axel.cfwebtools.com/index.cfm/2007/2/6/Returning-a-query-to-flex-as-xml#more once you get it into flex, it will be declared as xml, and then in your mx:Tree your going to declare a showRoot="false" the blog might be a little hard to follow, but I hope it helps. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "malik_robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I want to display a list of companies and contacts associated with each > company in my app. I think a tree can do this, but I wanted to ask how > can I populate a tree from a query?
