[AS3] Yahoo! ASTRA - Tree Component Help

[ShahSoft]

I wish to Add and Remove leafnodes or branchnodes to a Tree. I also want to Add more Leafs to a Branch.

I have tried many things like tree.addItem , tree.replaceItemAt, branchnode.addChildNode etc. I either run into errors or item added has no Labels. I know this works:

tree.addItem({label:"Ok"});

But how to use the same for adding Branches?

Can someone Please post working examples? How to make these work???

Thanks.

the astra frame work eventually type casts the objects that you add so though it appears that addItem({label:"test",nodeType:TreeDataProvider.LEAF_NODE,nodeLevel:1, parentNode:parentDp.rootNode, data:"some stuff"});

works, but it eventually will cause problems with the tree component, because the code further up the chain tries to type cast the object to a specific class.

try this instead:
import com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.treeClasses.TreeDataPr ovider;
import com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.treeClasses.TNode;
import com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.treeClasses.LeafNode;
import com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.treeClasses.BranchNode ;
import com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.treeClasses.RootNode;

//myTree is an object on stage of type com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.Tree

var parentDp:TreeDataProvider = mytree.dataProvider as TreeDataProvider;
var ln:LeafNode = new LeafNode(parentDp);
ln.label = "test";
ln.data = "";
ln.parentNode = parentDp.rootNode as BranchNode;
parentDp.addItem(ln);

If you want to create other types of nodes just change var ln:LeafNode = new LeafNode(parentDp); to a Branch node
