Creating Hierarchical ArrayCollection out of Flat Array Collection where each record has three fields ID, Name, PID (say)

Here my flat array collection was having three fields ZZCUST_VEND (ID),ZZNAME (name),ZZHCUST_VEND(PID) and sample data would be like

            var flatArrayCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"1", ZZNAME:"A", ZZHCUST_VEND:"0"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"2", ZZNAME:"B", ZZHCUST_VEND:"0"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"3", ZZNAME:"C", ZZHCUST_VEND:"0"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"4", ZZNAME:"D", ZZHCUST_VEND:"0"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"5", ZZNAME:"A1", ZZHCUST_VEND:"1"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"6", ZZNAME:"B1", ZZHCUST_VEND:"2"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"7", ZZNAME:"C1", ZZHCUST_VEND:"3"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"8", ZZNAME:"A11", ZZHCUST_VEND:"5"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"9", ZZNAME:"B11", ZZHCUST_VEND:"6"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"10", ZZNAME:"C11", ZZHCUST_VEND:"7"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"11", ZZNAME:"D1", ZZHCUST_VEND:"4"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"12", ZZNAME:"D11", ZZHCUST_VEND:"11"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"13", ZZNAME:"E", ZZHCUST_VEND:"0"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"14", ZZNAME:"E1", ZZHCUST_VEND:"13"},
            {ZZCUST_VEND:"15", ZZNAME:"C12", ZZHCUST_VEND:"7"},
            ]); 
I want to show this in a hierarchical fashion. So I created a Tree Utility class to handle this.The post is available at here.


I hope this will be helpful.

Hello Akhil,
I was trying to use the code that you've posted but I got the following error:

Index '1' specified is out of bounds.

could you advice what might be the cause?

var rootNode:TreeNodeH = new TreeNodeH;
try {
rootNode = TreeCreator.createHierarchicalArrayCollection(flatArrayCollection);
hierarchicalArrayCollection.addItem(rootNode);
myTree.dataProvider = hierarchicalArrayCollection;
}
catch (e:Error)
{
Alert.show(e.message.toString(),"error");
}
