Flash :: Accordion/Tree Navigation ... Tree DataProvider Issues

Tree As Class For Child Of Accordion
I am trying to import and use the Tree class as a child element of an accordion instance, but it is proving to be problematic. I was using the example found at http://www.design-nation.net/en/archives/000348.php as a reference.

Code:
import mx.controls.Tree
//reference to the accordion instance at '_root'
var a1 = _root.typeList;
//create children
a1.createChild( Tree, "therapist", {icon : "therapistHeading"} );

The error I am receiving is as follows:
Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Desktop/accordianTest/[type Function]"

Please help, this is killin me. Thanks!

How Do I Make A Tree Menu? Like The Explorer Tree?
I am currently writing a tree menu in flash that will look nearly identically to the std tree widget in windows (like explorer).

my problem is.. how do i link an object to an mc?

ie i have made a node class with member variables and methods (an array of child nodes and the LoadChildren method) and i have an mc that i want to be duplicated for each node (a little folder icon thingy).

when a node loads its children via xml it will get the data then create an array of child node objects:

for each child in xml
{
var node = new node("name from xml", "data from xml");

children.push(node);
}

so at the end of this i have a nice array of child nodes.

I dont know if i put the code that defines the node class into the folder thingy mc and then duplicate that or what..

Has anyone seen an example of something like this anywhere.. i saw a cool tree ages ago but i cant find it now..

I know its a bad explanation but my brain hurts at the moment

thanks for any help =]

Navigation Tree With XML
I'm trying to create a Navigation Tree in flash that gets all of its components from an XML file.

Category
+Section 1
++sub section a
++sub section b
+Section 2
++ sub section a
++ sub section b

something along those lines the only problem is i have no idea how to do this at all. I'm in the process of creating the XML file now, but to actually make a list like that in flash that is populated from the XML i dont know. Each one will take you to a different page i know how to set that up with frame labels and gotoAndPlay. The list is going to have 20 sections with a couple sub sections and its going along the side of my flash piece.

XML Menu Tree Navigation
I'm using the menu XML tree navigation component by Luca Tosti. I'm trying to modify it so that when you open a single branch, any other branches will close.

My thought was to assign a global temp variable to equal the current menu choice and on the second turn, it will call the "close" function for the temp variable. What happens is the previous menu closes, but it disappears altogether.

Here's a link to the component I edited.

http://d430214.u34.webhostmetro.com/test/menu.htm

The left one is the original and the one on the right is the modified. Also the code is underneath it. The bolded code is the code I added.

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

V2 Tree Help
Salutations...

I need great help with using the new V2 tree (flash MX 2004 Pro). I have code that uses the V1 tree and it works perfectly! The problem that I have is that I need the tree to scoll both verticaly and horizontaly! I'm not able to activate an horizontal scrollbar!

So my first question is :: Is there a way to scoll horizontaly in a V1 tree and if not .... I must use the V2 tree.... it seems to come equipt with one.

Question 2 : I cannot use my V1 code to load XML file into a V2 tree! There is always only undefine nodes! Is there samples that I can look at?

Thanks a million times for the help!

Tree
As I can select in "tree" the first subnode? I have the following code.

Code:
miArbol.getTreeNodeAt(0).addTreeNodeAt(0,miArbol.selectedNode.attributes.label) *Add Node **
miArbol.selectedNode=miArbol.getTreeNodeAt(0) *Work... Ok
miArbol.setIsOpen(miArbol.selectedNode, true, true);
miArbol.selectedNode=getTreeNodeAt(1) *No work*
You pardon, but use a translator. Greetings
Gracias...

ActionScript Code:
myXML = new XML();myXML.ignoreWhite = true;myXML.load("tree_source.xml");myXML.onLoad = function(){ var newXML = myXML.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes; myTree.dataProvider = newXML;}

Tree Help...
I'm trying to do this:

var atts = theTree.selectedItem.attributes.*

So that the value of the variable 'atts' is equal to all the attributes of that tree item which is actually an xml node.

I need to do it this way because all the nodes have different attributes.

But it doesn't work.

Anyone know how to accomplish this the right way?

XML And Tree
I used the tutorial to create the tree component. Everything works great. I modified it so that the actionscript (instead of getting a URL) gets a FlashPaper document to open in the actual movie. What I'm looking to do is add to the functionality of the tree component.

Is there a way I can load more attributes from my XML file, other than the URL and tree description? I'd like how I've modified the tree component to load an external FlashPaper file, but i would like for it to not only load the file to view, but for that click to switch the URL on a button that is clickable to download the original .doc file. Is this possible?

So, essentially, i'd be loading two different URLs from my XML into the Flash document. One URL opens an external swf with FlashPaper (which I've already done) and the other one would attach to a button, which the user can click to download the original .doc file. I'm not the best with actionscript, but i'm starting to learn the ropes here. Thanks for any help!

Tree Menu?
how do I creat the left menu like on http://www.spoono.com ?
I found this tutorial on www.virtual-fx.net but it is not quite the same.
how do I adjust the tutorial so it will be the same as spoono's one?
I mean the sliding effect and when lets say you push the tutorial button and then you push the desktop button, first the tutorial button comes up and only then the desktop button comes down.
hope you got it

Folding Tree (Please Help)
Hi everyone,

Tree Menu Help
I want to build a tree menu in flashMX.
This is how far I have come:

//init state for minus button
mappe.minusbutton._visible = false;
mappeinitY = 35;
//
for (i=0;i<5;i++) {
mappe.duplicateMovieClip("mappe"+i,i);
with (_root["mappe"+i]) {
_y = mappeinitY + (mappe._height + 5) * i;
_x -= (mappe._width - 12.5);
minusbutton._visible = false;
}
}

Now, the problem is that I somehow have to tell the right folders to drop down when the folder above is being pressed.
Thanks for any help!

Tree Question
I'm populating a tree component with an xml page. I have a data attribute that is a link. How would I write the code that says... when branch selected go to link? Thanks in advance...

Tree Structure...
I am developing an interface, which will allow navigation between quite a lot of samples. Having done a few experiments previously I am of the opinion that generating the buttons in script from some sort of array would be best.
If my structure would be something like this

Code:
A---1---xA.1.1
---xA.1.2
---xA.1.3
---2---xA.2.1
---xA.2.2
B---1---xB.1.1
---2---xB.2.1
---xB.2.2
etc. etc.

would the best way of representing it be

Code:
main = newArray()
main[0]= null
main[1]= [ ["xA.1.1", "xA.1.2", "xA.1.3"], ["xA.2.1", "xA.2.2"] ]
main[2]= [ ["xB.1.1", ["xB.2.1", "xB.2.2"] ]
and so on,

I also realise that if I use objects I could hold other information, but I guess really what I'm asking is, is there a different or better way of doing this?

Tree Component - Please Help
Please help anyone. I have a tree that is populated by "loading" and xml file that is produced by a CFDirectory call. When I click on one of the folders in the displayed tree, I then call the CF file again with the full path for that file resulting in the XML for that folder being sent back to me.

All of this works up to that point, however, I cannot get the new XML to be inserted into the proper place in my tree. For instance, lets say the root folder is called "Mail". When I click on it, I want the subfolders, "InBox, Sent, and Trash" added as child nodes of the Mail folder.

Also, I cannot figure out how to delete a child node, not a root node, from a branch. Using the example above, lets say I just want to delete the "Sent" node completly. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
