I did some sniffin around and got mine to work right. For anyone
interested I made a kinda generic version below. // sourceArray = any array you are currently using as a datasource, most likely it will be preloaded with entries // search = the ID of the text entry field you want to use while typing private function filterlist() { var TempObject:Object = new Object(); // This will hold a source structure var RunningArray:Array = new Array(); // This will become the new dataSource for the datagrid var compString:String = new String(); // This will have just the element of the TempObject you want to test // Start Looping over the original datasource for(var i=0; i < sourceArray.length; i++){ TempObject = sourceArray[i]; // Assign the current source row structure to the TempObject compString = TempObject.TITLE; // Assign the comp(are)String to the Element you want to filter on // check of the text property of most likly a text field, if it is in the compString if ( compString.indexOf(String(search.text)) >= 0 ) { RunningArray.push(TempObject); //If it is a match, add the row from the source to the filtered array } } destinationDataGrid.dataProvider = RunningArray; // Rebind the DataGrid to the new filtered array destinationDataGrid.dataProvider.dispatchEvent({type: "modelChanged"}); // Dont know if this is needed, may work without. } No wildcards or anything like that are needed, esentialy its just like searching with the astrix wild character on each end of whatever you type. Its pretty fast since the data is already loaded into memeory Hope this helps someone -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
