Question

I have a tree in flex built from an XML document into an XMLlist

In the XML the tags are all different and have a bunch of attributes each, and are not consistent.

When I publish the file I want the name of the folders in the tree to be the tag. It is easy with attributes.. ‘@id’ or something similar, but I can’t find what it could be to use the tag itself.

Thanks

You’ll have to use a custom label function to do that. Here’s an example. Hope this helps.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <WindowedApplication xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009'>    <Script>     <![CDATA[       [Bindable]       public var xml:XML = <node1><node2a><node3><node4/></node3></node2a><node2b/></node1>;        public function myLabelFunction(item:Object):String {         var node:XML = XML(item);         var nodeName:QName = node.name();         return nodeName.localName;       }     ]]>   </Script>    <Tree width='100%' dataProvider='{xml}' labelFunction='myLabelFunction'/>  </WindowedApplication>
