Thanks Tracy, that got me really close to wrapping this up.  I was 
able to find the node and isolate it, however the tree is not 
expanding that node.

var topic:String = "Add Skill";
var xmlListSearch:XMLList = xml.menuTree..folder.(attribute("topic") 
== topic);
var foundNode:XML = xmlListSearch[0];

trace("xml: " + foundNode.toXMLString()); //traces the node I want: 
<folder label="Adding Skills" topic="Add Skill" />

navTree.expandItem(foundNode, true, true);//does not expand the node 
found above

The id of the tree is indeed navTree.  Not sure what's happening here.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
