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
