So you have an ArrayCollection of XML objects that you want to filter on? In the filterFunction just case your array item to XML and use E4X to find the node / attribute that you want to filter on and build it in your filter logic, i.e. logical that determines the true/false return value.
Thats why the filterFunction takes an arbitrary object - the array item - because it doesn't know what the object is OR how you want to filter it...you have to supply this logic. You may want to consider the performance of this approach as the number of items in the ArrayCollection grows.
