Get your filtering code working without the event and custom event object. I think you need to have a better understanding how filtering works. Review the docs if needed.

By applying the filter in the main instance variable, are you suggesting that I put it somewhere within this function? private function accommodationLocatorResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void { var lodgings:ArrayCollection = event.result.accommodations.accommodation; var temp:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); var cursor:IViewCursor = lodgings.createCursor(); var filter:AccommodationFilter = new AccommodationFilter(); while (!cursor.afterLast) { var accommodation:Accommodation = new Accommodation(); accommodation.fill(cursor.current); temp.addItem(accommodation); cursor.moveNext(); } accommodations = temp; } Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Call it in the result handler. Either apply the filter to the main instance level variable "accomodations", or do as you have and then assign selectedAccoms to the dataGrid dataProvider.

I didn't introduce it because I couldn't really work out how it would be called if I wanted data to be updated automatically i.e. without a button click or something like that. [Bindable] private var selectedAccoms:ArrayCollection; public function updateGrid():void { selectedAccoms = new ArrayCollection(accommodations); //selectedAccoms.filterFunction =; selectedAccoms.refresh(); dgAccom.dataProvider = selectedAccoms; } Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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.....

Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mathe Maema Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 2:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] newbie I have two pages. 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.
