This is a bit of a guess, but try:
var fileName:String = myObj[0].getProperty("label");I say this because the treeItems should be an array of treeDataProvider items/nodes, and when trying to access dataProviders, it is always best to use the dataProvider API. If that doesn't work, can you debug this perhaps with FlexBuilder and inspect myObj?

I think what I am trying to do is very simple. I have a tree which is populated by a remoteObject call, this works fine. The XML returned from the remoteObject Call is in this format: <node label="Test> <node label="Test.txt/> <node label="Test2.txt"/> </node> Tree now works fine. Now, in the doDragDrop(event) function I call another method (after clearing the List and populating it with this dragsource object) called: sendFile(event) Which does this: var myObj:Object = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("treeItems"); var fileName:String = String(myObj[0]); mx.core.Application.alert(fileName); All i get is undefined. If I try a .label or .node I also get an undefined. How can I get the label?
