All sorts of information is hierarchical and can be represented by a tree structure: websites, photo albums, topic knowledge, etcetera. This Tree class is a position tree: each tree node has exactly one parent node and can have multiple children. The root node has no parent. Tree nodes can be added as sub-Tree objects. Use a TreeEnumerator to traverse the tree.
Usage 
  • var root:Tree = new Tree("root");
var data:Object = {order:0;};
var child:Tree = root.addChild("A", data);
