Create a setSelectedTab function to store
the selected tab. Whenever you click on the tab call
setSelectedTab(whateverValueYouWant).
function setSelectedTab(value:String):Void
{
selectedTab = value;
If (firstResults != null)
getSecondResults();
}
Function getSecondResults():Void
{
If (selectedTab != null)
//do logic to determine which function
to call and whatnot
}
In the result handler for your first call
simply assign firstResults and call getSecondResults();
Just a guideline, YMMV,

I am probably over-complicating it, thats always a possiblity.
However the reason I can't is because the second
search that actually
gets used will be dependent on which of the 4 tabs
you select. But
the first search needs to stay the same.
IOW for example
1. Search for Departments based on partial
department name
2. Select Department from returned list
3. Click on Car Tab
4. Get the Unique IDs of every person in the list
of selected
departments
5. Get all the cars for all the people returned
from step 4 adding a
date range filter.
6. Double click on a car to view that car's
details.
BUT
At Step 3 you can actualy click any of the
following
Click on Car Tab
Click on DoorKey Tab
Click on Employment File Tab
Click on Room Tab
in all 4 instances it would have to do Step 4, and
other then sending
the results to different second searchs
(Car/DoorKey/EmploymentFile/Room) it would always
be the same that
you are taking a list of departments and
generating a list of
people's unique IDs who are in those departments.
But since you only go get the people list from the
departments when
you click the tab, and at the same time it
automaticaly submits a
search for whatever that tab is about, it is a
problem as when the,
say, car search runs, the people list will not
have had a chance to
be populated.
