flex 2 provides a more efficient way of manipulating an ArrayCollection using a "filterFunction" from the IViewCollection Interface. This also provides the use of a cursor which you can use to manipulate the collection as well. Sorting is first required if you want to use a cursor. Filtering can be done in a 1 line conditional stmt which eliminates any need to loop through the entire ArrayCollection. Look in Chap 7., pg 161 of the Developer's Guide with a very good example on pg. 178 and 185.
