In Flex 3, you can call expandItem or set openNodes to get all the nodes to open, then I would subclass Tree and use the walk the collection which should then contain the nodes you want and find the index of those items and set selectedIndex appropriately.

I can find the node using the XML navigation methods, however, I want to create a list of total nodes matched (there can be many) then allow the user to jump from match to match, so I need to be able to select a node and highlight it. Any thoughts?
