I have successfully created a Tree menu using the component and an external xml
file. It works beautifully. However, one curious characteristic is that the
default Hit Area is just the tiny little grey arrow to the left of each menu
folder. I have found that the users intuitively want to hover their mouse over
the file or the text to its right, and to click on same to expand the menu.
When nothing happens, they think the menu doesn't work. Only upon my telling
them that its the grey arrow that they must use are they able to make the menu
expand.

Is there a way that I can make the entire folder "row" of the menu the hit
area; or even just the file icon?

Hello again,

Yes, this is possible.

Cheers,
FlashTastic



var treeListener:Object = new Object();
treeListener.change = function() {
var item = myTree.selectedItem;
var address = item.attributes.url;
//if the node is closed
if (myTree.getIsOpen(myTree.selectedNode) == false) {
//open the node
myTree.setIsOpen(myTree.selectedNode, true);
} else {
//otherwise, close the node
myTree.setIsOpen(myTree.selectedNode, false);
}
if (address) {
getURL(address, "_blank");
}
};
myTree.addEventListener("change", treeListener);
