I would create a new array collection that holds the dateAdded from your
entries ArrayCollection. Then to go to a specific page I would use
getItemIndex to find the page number and use goToPage with the int
returned.
private var datesAdded:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public function buildBook():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < entries.length; i ++)
{
myBook.addChild(entries.getItemAt(i).dateAdded);
datesAdded.push(entries.getItemAt(i).dateAdded as String);
}
}
// Go to page 21220100345
myBook.goToPage(datesAdded.getItemIndex("21220100345");
