Does your handler get called? Does it contain the reference you need? How are you applying the filter? Are you calling refresh()?

I think my problem is that I am unsure about how to get the result data after filtering. In my mind the filtering function is working on the data retrieved using httpservice.......but I havent actually cracked that part well...at one point I thought of introducing a function for capturing selected data.....

The first is the main. In the main I load my xml data as follows using Httpservice. I pass this data to the second page as follows: <SearchView id="searchView" label="Search" accommodations="{accoms}" /> // accommodations has been declared publicly in SearchView.mxml and accoms is the variable that was used to accept data sent by httpservice. Once the data is passed, I display in the datagrid. All is fine at this stage. My second step was to attempt to filter the data in the datagrid and this is where my trouble began. I have two actionscript files one is for carrying out the filtering and the other is for the filterEvent. oh by the way there is yet another actionscript file which is essentially the class file for accommodations. At this point, the following sequence of events can take place: * a click on a checkbox calls a function dispatchFilter * the dispatch filter creates an instance of class filterevent and dispatches the event * the dispatched event takes as its parameter instance of the filter class and thus reviews what has been checked or unchecked.. I tried using a get function but a while I realised that I miss something relating to passing data between components.
