Select a node in your myTree. In ActionScript, you can reference this node by using the following code: myTree.selectedNode;

To access the attributes of the node, use the tree DataProvider API. These methods will work for any format dataProvider item, which might be an object, array, or XML node.

The following example might work: myTree.selectedNode.attributes.myAttribute

But the following example is far more reliable:

myTree.selectedNode.getProperty("myAttribute");
