RE: [flexcoders] Issue while tring to filter an arrayCollection...

[Matt Chotin]

Why is the error in a textFilter function when you’re writing arrayFilter?  Typo in your post?   Run this in the debugger so you get more info including a line number in the error.  You’ll probably find the line and it may be that the contactID isn’t an object with a search function or something like that?  The debugger could be useful here too, put a breakpoint in your filter function and you’ll see how things go.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of camlinaeizerous Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 8:22 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Issue while tring to filter an arrayCollection...   my first attempt at this post got filtered out for some reason and the rich text editor just crashed on my when I attempted to submit so here is attempt 3. myParticipants and arrayColleciton is populated by a cfquery that pulls the entire contents of a sql table. There are 4 column one being contactID int/int and the 3 others are strings/varhchars. I also have searchBar a textInput that on change calls the filtering function so it filters as you type. I recieve the following runtime error when i attempt to filter comparing the contactID: TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at views::viewParticipants_Contacts/::textFilter() at mx.collections::ListCollectionView/::internalRefresh() at mx.collections::ListCollectionView/refresh() at views::viewParticipants_Contacts/::filterHandler() at views::viewParticipants_Contacts/__searchBar_change() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.controls::TextInput/::textField_changeHandler() the following snipet is the code I'm using as the filter where (item.contactID.search(searchBar.text) >= 0) is causing the issue but when I replace contactId with any of the other 3 columns it works just as intended. I attmepted changing seachBar.text as int and a few other things but without success. private function filterHandler():void { this.myParticipants.filterFunction = arrayFilter; this.myParticipants.refresh(); } private function arrayFilter(item:Object):Boolean { if((searchBar.text == "") || (item.contactID.search(searchBar.text) >= 0)) {return true;} else {return false;} } Some help resolving this issue without changing the sql column to a string would be greatly appreciated. __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
