All of the XMLTreeDataProvider methodsare
already mixed into the XML object itself. So you should be able to use them
without doing anything to create it (I think).

Subject: [flexcoders] Tryingto
figure out the XMLTreeDataProvider class
I think the XMLTreeDataProvider class (as opposed
to the
TreeDataProvider Interface implemented by the XML
class) is just
what I need to display and modify an XML object in
an MXML Tree.
This is what it says
in "mx.controls.treeclasses.XMLTreeDataProvider.as".
/**
The XMLTreeDataProvider class ensures that you can
manipulate nodes
on an XML object using the methods specifiedin
the TreeDataProvider
interface, which broadcast changes to registered
views. This makes
it more convenient to describe your data hierarchy
as an XML file or
as an mx:XML tag in Flex and have it converted to
a TreeDataProvider
by calling the XML.parseXML() method. The
XMLTreeDataProvider class
implements the interface defined by the TreeDataProvider
interface.
*/
So I have 2 questions; 1) Is the
XMLTreeDataProvider classs indeed
the best/preferred method for presenting XMLdata
in a Tree, and 2)
If it is, does anyone have a simple implementation
example?
The XMLTreeDataProvider class uses "Mix-in
methods" and they are a
bit confusing. Because of that, I'm not certain
how the Tree,
TreeNode, XML, XMLNode, and XMLTreeDataProvider
classes/objects are
meant to interact when using the
XMLTreeDataProvider. There is
little documentation out there on this topicand a
simple example
would be greatly appreciated.
