I'm trying to populate a dataProvider array for a comboBox that
contains unique status values from another array, that is used as
the dataProvider for a dataGrid. The comboBox is used to filter the
dataGrid. The code below works, but I seem to remember seeing this
done somewhere that doesn't use nested for statements. Does anyone
know how I can identify if the array's status value already exists
in the new status array without iterating the new array every time?
public function populateStatusArray(array:Array):void {
var status : Array = new Array;
status.push("All");
var n:int = citations.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++) {
var m:int = status.length;
var found:Boolean = false;
for (var j:int = 0; j < m; j++) {
if (status[j] == array[i].status){
found = true;
}
}
if (found == false) {
status.push(array[i].status);
}
}
status.sort();
ModelLocator.getInstance().statusArray = status;
}
Thank You,
Tim Hoff
