Hi Guys
I am trying to sort the dataProvider in the list which is in the form of
XMLListCollection, I am using amfPHP for grabbing data in the form of
XMLListCollection and for the display purpose I am using labelfunction to
display just the friendly name of my entries which is the specific attribute
from the XMLListCollection. I went through few tutorials online for sorting and
came up with the following code but some how this is not working, Can any one
please help me in figruing out whats going on here and why sorting of the list
is not working,
Thanks
/**********************CODE*************************/
<mx:RemoteObject id="amfSetup" source="Setup" destination="amfphp">
<mx:method name="getList" result="getListHandler(event);"
fault="getListFault(event);"/>
</mx:RemoteObject>
[Bindable] private var entriesXmlListFull:XMLList;
[Bindable] private var entriesXmlCollection:XMLListCollection;
public function getListHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
entriesXmlListFull = XML(event.result).device;
populateEntries();
}
private function getListFault(event:FaultEvent):void
{
Alert.Show("Error retreiving Data");
}
//Displaying names need to be displayed in the List box
private function entriesLabelFunc(item:Object):String
{
var xmlItem:XML = item as XML;
return xmlItem..attribute.(@name=="friendlyname");
}
//Populating List with XML Objects
private function populateEntries():void
{
entriesXmlCollection = new XMLListCollection();
for each(var item:XML in entriesXmlListFull)
{
var friendlyName:String =
item..attribute.(@name=="friendlyname");
//Only add camera type
if ( !recordValue && hasFriendlyName &&
(itemType.toUpperCase() == "CAMERA") )
{
entriesXmlCollection.addItem(item);
}
}
//Calling Sort on XMLList collection
entriesXmlCollection.sort = sortList;
entriesXmlCollection.refresh();
}
<mx:Sort id="sortList">
