I have four comboboxes populated from arrays. I have a datagrid populated
by an ArrayCollection. I can filter the ArrayCollection from each combo
box individually, but I need to filter by multiple selections. For
example, I may want to filter by UserID and Carrier and Origin.
The obvious solution is to run a conditional that appends a variable and
use the variable in the filter conditional.
if(cboUserID.text != ""){
filterVar = 'item.USER_ID == cboUserID.text';
}
if(cboCarrier.text != ""){
filterVar = filterVar + 'item.Carrier == cboCarrier.text';
}
public function processFilters(item: Object):Boolean {
if (filterVar.toString()) {
return true;}
{
return false;
}
The problem is that the processFilters function won't accept the filterVar
as a string. Is it a matter of using a different datatype or do I need to
escape characters or is this not possible? Is there a better way to do
this?
Thanks,
