[flexcoders] Re: multiple filters on XMLListCollection how?

[munene_uk]

Thanks for the reply...how would the above example work for criteria that comes 
dynamically through xml data? ive tried this code below on my two combo boxes  
with id's of colourFilter and sizeFilter respectively...

private function filterData():void
            {
                
                xmlData2.filterFunction = applyColourAndSizeFilter;
                xmlData2.refresh()
                Alert.show(xmlData2.length.toString());
                
            }
                public function applyColourAndSizeFilter(item:Object):Boolean
                {
                                        
                        if(colourFilter.selectedItem == "All colours" && 
sizeFilter.selectedItem =="All sizes" )
                        {
                                return true;
                                
                        }
                        
                        else
                        {
                        return item.colour == colourFilter.selectedItem && 
item.sizes == sizeFilter.selectedItem;
                        
                        }
