Run this method over your XML before using it as you dataProvider.
Probably a better way to do but it worked for me in similar situation.
var myXMLWithBranches:XML=iconizeXML(myOriginalXML);
//---------------
private function iconizeXML(xmlobj:XML):XML
{
function iconize(xml:XML):XML
{
if(xml.localName().indexOf("parent") != -1){
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"true";
}
var n:int=0;
var c:XML;
while(n < xml.children().length()){
c=xml.children()[n];
iconize(c);
n++;
}
return xml;
}
return iconize(xmlobj);
}
