You have easy control over the way each node is displayed, via labelFunction or itemRenderer, but by default, the Tree will display a node for each node in the dataProvider.
You have two options. The first is to preprocess the xml into the node format that you want to see. The other is to use a custom TreeDataDescriptor. Here is link to the doc ont the subject. It is a bit complex. I would really like to see a simple exmple that just excludes some nodes. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/about_dataproviders_057_15.html Tracy ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of fourctv Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2007 8:21 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Tree displays xml node value, can I avoid that? how? I have a Tree control whose dataProvider gets an xml like: <nodes> <node label="a"> <node label="a.1"/> <node label="a.2">data for node a.2</node> <node label="a.3"/> </node> <node label="b"> <node label="b.1"/> <node label="b.2"/> </node> The rendered tree looks like: [+] a a.1 [+] a.2 data for node a.2 a.3 [+] b b.1 b.2 You see, the data value for element "a.2" gets displayed as a tree node. Can I avoid that? I could not find any Tree property that allows me to filter out element data values from being rendered. TIA julio
