Advanced CFTREE functionality in MX7

[Shawn Schultz]

Any chance you could post what you came up with? We are attempting to do the
same thing as you! We are having a difficult time even getting the XML version
of the cftree to show up, let alone any thing else. It would be a huge help if
you could describe in detail what you came up with!

Thanks,
Shawn

What kind of problems are you having with the XML format of the tree.

I have a very simple and stupid question to ask. Can I call Javascrip from
the onchnage in CFTREE tag? Or I have to use Action Script in the onChnage as
inline code? My problem is that I need to do some processing on the tree
node's values, which the user clicks on, before copy the data to other cfinput
fields. For example, I have a tree node has 'Last name, first name - email'
values, after user clicks onthe node, I have to parse the string into fisrt
name, last name and email into three separate cfinput fields. Can any one
help? Thank you

You'll need to use actionscript. You can call javascript from flash, but you
can't get the return value. So it wouldn't work for what you want to do.

I've posted the solution I came up with for our problem
[url]http://www.devbynull.org/index.php?p=38[/url]. We ended up scrapping the CFTREE
control and creating a new tree based on the one that ships with Flash MXPro.

Mike, Thank you. A general question: Can I call a action script file from
wtihin the CFTREE or other CFFORM fields? Or, I can only invoke action script
in-line? BTW, I read the Macromedia liveDoc last night and I realized that the
onClick trigger is not available for formt='FLASH'. Am I reading it correct?
Also, does anyone know how the onValidate event get trigger inside the CFTREE
tag? Thank you all
