Expand flex tree on open

Hiya, I have a flex tree and every time it loads it only shows the one root folder, and i'd like it to show its full contents. I've seen loads of examples of people doing this, but just can't get it to work on mine. I think its because my tree is loading from an HTTPService, so whenever I try something it tries to do it before the tree has loaded, or something! Flex is doing my head in!

Can anyone show me where I should put extra code?

PHP Code:

Can annnnnnnyone help me pleeeeeaaaaaasssssse!!!

I'm not sure of the single command, but in your tree object, you'll use either openItems or expandItems. Since I haven't done it before I can't give too much other than that. However, this tut many have more information, just scroll down about half way.
