Here is an example that is pretty easy to understand. You can ignore the line drawing stuff for your purposes.

Then, begin modifying it to display what you want.

Hi again Flexperts... I'm still working on my tree of query terms...I'm perplexed about customizing the TreeItemRenderer so that my "nodes" (these are actually my custom component which is used to create query terms) show up instead of the default file icon and label. Example in plain text: AND | + OR | + NOT | + the + represents my custom component as it's a linkButton that when clicked brings up a fancy query builder to add a term for that operation...so far I have in XML representing my tree: <mx:XML id="Terms"> <root> <Operation label="AND"> <children label=" " > </Operation> <Operation label="OR"> <children label=" " > </Operation> <Operation label="NOT"> <children label=" " > </Operation> </root> </mx:XML> I want my children to show up as the custom component that is fully functional and think that TreeItemRenderer is the place I need to put code to do this. Any examples out there for using a custom component for nodes? Thanks in advance! Christine
