selectedItem gives you a reference to the node.
Probably what you are seeing is because the event is just an Object containing the xml, so some propeties are not visible. Cast/convert the result into an xml object: var oItem:Object = event.currentTarget.selectedItem; var xmlItem:XML = XML(oItem) xmlItem will be the node.

I have a structure like this: <projects> <project> <experiments> <experiment> </experiment> </experiments> </project> </projects> I'd like to be able to double click on an item in the Tree and change to the necessary viewStack page, which will allow the user to edit the info. The viewStack page will depend on whether the user clicked on a project or experiment. So far I've tried using onChange(event), event.currentTarget.selectedItem, which only gives me certain attributes. I just want to be able to somehow know which XML node <experiment> or <project> was clicked so I can open the right window. I've been reading about ItemRenderers, will I need to use one? I'm familiar with eventListeners but I'm still unsure about how to get the appropriate XML node based on a click. Thanks for any help.
