Create example that uses custom branch and leaf renderers

[joshtynjala]

To keep it simple, just use the LiteTreeMapBranchRenderer and LiteTreeMapLeafRenderer that comes with the source.

Yes please! I keep getting an error that I need to implement the IFactory interface, but I cannot find that interface anywhere. How does this work?

[joshtynjala]

It refers to mx.core.IFactory. The most commonly used implementation of this interface is mx.core.ClassFactory. If you ever use a custom item renderer in a List or a Tree, you've probably used it. Anyway, here's the most basic example:

treemap.leafRenderer = new ClassFactory( LiteTreeMapLeafRenderer );

ClassFactory also allows you to set properties on the instantiated object. Custom factories could possibly do even more to the object, like set styles or call methods.
