The XML can be filtered the following way.

private var faq:XML = <FAQS>
                           <FAQ id="1" isHeader="1" question="About Flex" 
answer="" />
                           <FAQ id="2" isHeader="0" question="What is the 
Purpose?" answer="To be awesome" />
                           <FAQ id="3" isHeader="0" question="Who should use 
it?" answer="Everyone!" />
                           <FAQ id="4" isHeader="1" question="About 
Chattanooga" answer="" />
                           <FAQ id="5" isHeader="1" question="About the Mets" 
answer="" />
                           <FAQ id="6" isHeader="1" question="About Donkeys" 
answer="" />
                           <FAQ id="7" isHeader="1" question="About Penguins" 
answer="" />
                        </FAQS>;

.........

                        for each (var item:XML in faq.children()){
                              if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == "0") {
                                    mx.controls.Alert.show("success "+ [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]);
                              }
                        }

Subject: [AFFUG Discuss] Selective Data in a Data Grid

I'm grabbing data from an XML file and am wanting to only display certain nodes 
in a Datagrid based on a particular value of the XML Node.

I've converted the XML over to an ArrayCollection so I can access particular 
properties of the XML node, I'm just having problems excluding data from it.

I'm working on a way to change around the XML (dynamically created from a 
Database) to see if I can do some array manipulation as a work around, but it'd 
be nice if I could just exclude it.


So, for instance, if I had the following XML:


<FAQS>
   <FAQ id="1" isHeader="1" question="About Flex" answer="" />
   <FAQ id="2" isHeader="0" question="What is the Purpose?" answer="To be 
awesome" />
   <FAQ id="3" isHeader="0" question="Who should use it?" answer="Everyone!" />
   <FAQ id="4" isHeader="1" question="About Chattanooga" answer="" />
   <FAQ id="5" isHeader="1" question="About the Mets" answer="" />
   <FAQ id="6" isHeader="1" question="About Donkeys" answer="" />
   <FAQ id="7" isHeader="1" question="About Penguins" answer="" />
</FAQS>


>From that XML file, I only want to display the nodes that have a "isHeader" 
>value of 0.

Thanks!
