For instance, in my implementation of accessibility for the Astra Tree, I can determine which item in the Tree was clicked via the ChildID passed in, and I build this list of ID via the getChildIdArray() method.

I'm working on an accessible tree control for AS2 - after hunting around, I discovered there's a 'magic' _accImpl object that can be attached to any movieclip - it supports a subset of the methods available in AS3, including getChildIdArray(). The problem is, getChildIdArray() is only being called for the first level in the tree hierarchy. Sure enough, AccExplorer.exe shows only the top level of hierarchy. This may be a limitation of Flash 8/AS2. Did you have a similar issue with your tree control, or id getChildIdArray() called for each level in the hierarchy? Thanks again!
