Im relatively new to AS3 and Flex but here is my problem, at the moment that I am populating a tree in flex from an XML source, my problem is that the tree displays all child nodes of the XML passed to it, and I want it only to display the top node, I have tried using the delete method however I need the children of the XML for other functions, so I thought to create a new XMLList but it also deletes from the original XMLList now aswell? My ideal solution would be a way of selecting the top node for the tree but leaving the XML dataProvider intact, is this possible? Ive spent 2 days trying to find a solution and havent found anything so far?
var node2:XML = XML(item);
var strLabel:String;
if (node2.@NavigationItemType==2) {
strLabel = node2.@Caption;
}
return strLabel;
above returns the children of the top node with a blank caption, but you can still expand the tree with invisible items
var i:int = 0;
var j:int = mapTreeNavXML2.length;
for (i=0;i<j;i++) {
delete mapTreeNavXML2*.NavigationItem.NavigationItem;
}
and above is what i was using to remove the nodes but removes from my original instance of the xml ‘mapTreeNavXML’, any help on this would be definately appreciated so much.
Thanks
