Hi,
There's a few problems with your original code. First, pizzaSelected
will never change after the first click of the CheckBox; because you're
only setting it if the CheckBox is selected. Also not sure why you
don't just use pizzaSelected = pizza_ckb.selected; instead of
pizza_ckb.data, or why use a reference variable at all. Second, you're
trying to compare String values to Boolean values. Boolean values are
sometimes stored as varchar, int, or bit in a database. Once the data
gets to the client, you need to make sure that you are either casting
these values to Boolean, or comparing them to similar data types; in
this case it looks like String. If you are using strings, also be
careful of spelling and case. Finally, you only need to use refresh()
once; after a sort or filterFunction has been applied to a collection.
Give this code a whirl:
<---------------------------------------------------------------->
private var pizzaSelected:String;
private function pizzaFilter():void
{
pizzaSelected = pizza_ckb.selected ? "yes" : "no" ;
filterGrid();
}
private function filterGrid() :void
{
// this assumes that you want to show all; if pizza_chb is not
selected
pizzaAr.filterFunction = (pizzaSelected == "yes") ? myFilterFunction
: null;
pizzaAr.refresh();
}
private function myFilterFunction(item:Object): Boolean
{
return (item.pizza.toLowerCase() == pizzaSelected) ;
}
