public function HierarchicalCollectionViewCursor(collection:HierarchicalCollectionView, model:ICollectionView, hierarchicalData:IHierarchicalData)| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
Constructor.
Parameters| collection:HierarchicalCollectionView— The HierarchicalCollectionView instance referenced by this cursor. | |
| model:ICollectionView— The source data collection. | |
| hierarchicalData:IHierarchicalData— The data used to create the HierarchicalCollectionView instance. | 
| findAny | () | method | 
 public function findAny(values:Object):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
Finds an item with the specified properties within the collection and positions the cursor to that item. If the item can not be found, the cursor location does not change.
The findAny() method can only be called on sorted views;
      if the view isn't sorted, a CursorError is thrown.
If the associated collection is remote, and not all of the items have been cached locally, this method begins an asynchronous fetch from the remote collection. If one is already in progress, this method waits for it to complete before making another fetch request.
If multiple items can match the search criteria then the item found
      is non-deterministic.
      If it is important to find the first or last occurrence of an item
      in a non-unique index, use the findFirst() or
      findLast() method.
If the data is not local and an asynchronous operation must be performed, an ItemPendingError is thrown.
Parameters
| values:Object— The search criteria. The values in the Object must be configured as name-value pairs,
      as in an associative array (or be the actual object to search for). The values of the names specified must match properties
      specified in the sort. For example, if propertiesx,y, andzare in the current sort, the values specified should be{x: x-value, y: y-value, z: z-value}. | 
| Boolean— When all of the data is local this method returnstrueif the item can be found andfalseotherwise. | 
| findFirst | () | method | 
 public function findFirst(values:Object):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
Finds the first item with the specified properties within the collection and positions the cursor to that item. If the item can not be found, no cursor location does not change.
The findFirst() method can only be called on sorted views;
      if the view isn't sorted, a CursorError is thrown.
If the associated collection is remote, and not all of the items have been cached locally, this method begins an asynchronous fetch from the remote collection. If one is already in progress, this method waits for it to complete before making another fetch request.
If it is not important to find the first occurrence of an item
      in a non-unique index, use findAny(), which may be
      a little faster than the findFirst() method.
If the data is not local and an asynchronous operation must be performed, an ItemPendingError is thrown.
Parameters
| values:Object— The search criteria. The values in the Object must be configured as name-value pairs,
      as in an associative array (or be the actual object to search for). The values of the names specified must match properties
      specified in the sort. For example, if propertiesx,y, andzare in the current sort, the values specified should be{x: x-value, y: y-value, z: z-value}. | 
| Boolean— When all of the data is local this method returnstrueif the item can be found andfalseotherwise. | 
| findLast | () | method | 
 public function findLast(values:Object):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
Finds the last item with the specified properties within the collection and positions the cursor on that item. If the item can not be found, the cursor location does not chanage.
The findLast() method can only be called on sorted views;
      if the view isn't sorted, a CursorError is thrown.
If the associated collection is remote, and not all of the items have been cached locally, this method begins an asynchronous fetch from the remote collection. If one is already in progress, this method waits for it to complete before making another fetch request.
If it is not important to find the last occurrence of an item
      in a non-unique index, use the findAny() method, which
      may be a little faster.
If the data is not local and an asynchronous operation must be performed, an ItemPendingError is thrown.
Parameters
| values:Object— The search criteria. The values in the Object must be configured as name-value pairs,
      as in an associative array (or be the actual object to search for). The values of the names specified must match properties
      specified in the sort. For example, if propertiesx,y, andzare in the current sort, the values specified should be{x: x-value, y: y-value, z: z-value}. | 
| Boolean— When all of the data is local this method returnstrueif the item can be found andfalseotherwise. | 
| insert | () | method | 
 public function insert(item:Object):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
      
      Inserts the specified item before the cursor's current position.
      If the cursor is afterLast,
      the insertion occurs at the end of the view.
      If the cursor is beforeFirst on a non-empty view,
      an error is thrown.
      
      
Parameters
| item:Object— The item to insert before the cursor's current position. | 
| moveNext | () | method | 
 public function moveNext():Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
      
      Moves the cursor to the next item within the collection.
      On success the current property is updated
      to reference the object at this new location.
      Returns true if the resulting current 
      property is valid, or false if not 
      (the property value is afterLast).
     
      
If the data is not local and an asynchronous operation must be performed, an ItemPendingError is thrown. See the ItemPendingError documentation and the collections documentation for more information on using the ItemPendingError.
Returns| Boolean—trueif still in the list,falseif thecurrentvalue initially was
      or now isafterLast. | 
| movePrevious | () | method | 
 public function movePrevious():Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
      
      Moves the cursor to the previous item within the collection.
      On success the current property is updated
      to reference the object at this new location.
      Returns true if the resulting current 
      property is valid, or false if not 
      (the property value is beforeFirst).
     
      
If the data is not local and an asynchronous operation must be performed, an ItemPendingError is thrown. See the ItemPendingError documentation and the collections documentation for more information on using the ItemPendingError.
Returns| Boolean—trueif still in the list,falseif thecurrentvalue initially was or
      now isbeforeFirst.
     
      For example:
      var myArrayCollection:ICollectionView = new ArrayCollection([ "Bobby", "Mark", "Trevor", "Jacey", "Tyler" ]);
      var cursor:IViewCursor = myArrayCollection.createCursor();
      cursor.seek(CursorBookmark.last);
      while (!cursor.beforeFirst)
      {
          trace(current);
          cursor.movePrevious();
      }

| remove | () | method | 
 public function remove():Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
      
      Removes the current item and returns it.
      If the cursor location is beforeFirst or 
      afterLast, throws a CursorError. 
      If you remove any item other than the last item,
      the cursor moves to the next item. If you remove the last item, the
      cursor is at the AFTER_LAST bookmark.
      
      
If the item after the removed item is not local and an asynchronous operation must be performed, an ItemPendingError is thrown. See the ItemPendingError documentation and the collections documentation for more information on using the ItemPendingError.
Returns| Object— The item that was removed. | 
| seek | () | method | 
 public function seek(bookmark:CursorBookmark, offset:int = 0, prefetch:int = 0):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 | 
| Product Version: | Flex 3 | 
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 | 
      
      Moves the cursor to a location at an offset from the specified
      bookmark.
      The offset can be negative, in which case the cursor is positioned
      an offset number of items prior to the specified bookmark.
     
      
If the associated collection is remote, and not all of the items have been cached locally, this method begins an asynchronous fetch from the remote collection.
If the data is not local and an asynchronous operation must be performed, an ItemPendingError is thrown. See the ItemPendingError documentation and the collections documentation for more information on using the ItemPendingError.
Parameters
| bookmark:CursorBookmark—CursorBookmarkreference to marker
      information that allows repositioning to a specific location.
      You can set this parameter to value returned from thebookmarkproperty, or to one of the following constant 
      bookmark values:
 | |
| offset:int(default =0)— Indicates how far from the specified bookmark to seek.
      If the specified number is negative, the cursor attempts to
      move prior to the specified bookmark.
      If the offset specified is beyond the end of the collection,
      the cursor is be positioned off the end, to thebeforeFirstorafterLastlocation. | |
| prefetch:int(default =0)— Used for remote data. Indicates an intent to iterate 
      in a specific direction once the seek operation completes.
      This reduces the number of required network round trips during a seek.
      If the iteration direction is known at the time of the request,
      the appropriate amount of data can be returned ahead of the request
      to iterate it. |
