Hi, My situation: - 1 Tree component (id=tree) - 1 XMLListCollection as a dataprovider for the tree (id=treeData) - 1 String, a url, that has to be found & selected.
My XMLListCollection looks like this: <page title="page1" href="url1"> <page title="subpage1" href="url2"/> <page title="subpage2" href="url3"> <page title="subsubpage1" href="url4"> </page> </page> <page title="page2" href="url5"> <page .../> <page .../> </page> Etc. All nodes are named 'page' and have a href property. What I need now, is a way to select the node in the tree for the given url. For example, all nodes are collapsed and I want to select the node with href=url4. How can I do this? This is what I tried: var t:XMLListCollection = this.treeData; var url:String = "myURL"; for(var i:Number = 0; i<t.length; i++) { //this works, nodes now contains a list of xml items with the correct url. var nodes:XMLList = t[i]..page.(@href==url); if(nodes.length() > 0) { //I only want to select the first occurence tree.selectedItem = nodes[0]; break; } } This, however, gives me a weird error (probably not that helpfull): TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at mx.controls.listClasses::ListBase/setSelectionDataLoop()[E:\dev\beta1\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\controls\listClasses\ListBase.as:7360] at mx.controls.listClasses::ListBase/commitSelectedItems()[E:\dev\beta1\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\controls\listClasses\ListBase.as:7251] at mx.controls.listClasses::ListBase/commitSelectedItem()[E:\dev\beta1\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\controls\listClasses\ListBase.as:7216] at mx.controls.listClasses::ListBase/set selectedItem()[E:\dev\beta1\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\controls\listClasses\ListBase.as:3474] at classes::Logic/onBrowserLocationChange()[C:\Users\ser\Documents\Flex Builder 3\application\src\classes\Logic.as:346] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent()[E:\dev\beta1\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:11260] at Classes::Logic/onBrowserLocationChange()[C:\Users\user\Documents\Flex Builder 3\application\src\classes\Logic.as:73] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent()[E:\dev\beta1\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:11260] at mx.controls::HTML/htmlLoader_locationChangeHandler()[E:\dev\beta1\frameworks\projects\airframework\src\mx\controls\HTML.as:1438] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.html::HTMLLoader/onLocationChangeTimer() at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch() at flash.utils::Timer/tick() Greets, Dauntless
