You'd have to scan the arraycollection. I wouldn't use an AC in a filter function, I'd probably use an object map indexed by fieldTag so you can remove faster. The filter function should use for..in to iterate the fields.

Delighted to have stumbled upon it. I have an arrayCollection which is used to pass info to a function which filters an XMLList. The arrayCollection, in an ideal world, would change in size and content based on user selections of a series of checkboxes. (i.e. check a box, and add another filter criteria to the arrayCollection, uncheck the box and the criteria gets removed and the filter rerun). Here is the arrayCollection: [Bindable] public var fields:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{fieldTag: "big", value:"t"}, {fieldTag: "small", value: "t"}]); The function in this case would return all items whose node named "big" AND "small" matched "t". How can I use removeItemAt and getItemAt in a function to pass in 1 argument to remove an element of the arrayCollection. Say for example I wanted to remove the element whose fieldTag was "big" but I did not know where it was in the arrayCollection. Something like this worked when the array was not multidimensional: fields.removeItemAt(arr.getItemIndex("big"); I would love to put this mess to bed, can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks a bunch.
