I m using the iconField property of the Flex Tree to dynamically set the icon that a node should use. This works fine for leaf nodes but for branch nodes it doesn t seem to respect my iconField and instead just shows the default folder node.
Here s a simple repro:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Embed("assets/icon1.png")]
public var icon1:Class;
[Embed("assets/icon2.png")]
public var icon2:Class;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:XML id="dp">
<node label="Sales" icon="icon1">
<node label="East" icon="icon2"/>
<node label="West" icon="icon2"/>
</node>
</mx:XML>
<mx:Tree dataProvider="{dp}" labelField="@label" iconField="@icon"
width="100%" height="100%" />
</mx:Application>
What happens is that icon2 shows for the East and West nodes but icon1 doesn t show for the Sales node. How can I get this to work?
