The way I found that works for this is to call the click function on all of the children nodes. You can accomplish this by inserting the following two lines to the example that you provided above (insert these two lines right underneath the d3.json call near the beginning of the script that calls "update" at the end of it)

d3.json("flare.json", function(json) {
  root = json;
  root.fixed = true;
  root.x = w / 2;
  root.y = h / 2 - 80;
  update();
});

//new code
var collapseMe = flatten(root);
for(var j = 0; j< collapseMe.length; j++){click(collapseMe[j])};
