Hi Jeff, I'm not sure what you meant by using e4x to get to the
sub-nodes - does that come in to play when I call the filterFunction ?
Also I'm still not sure if I'm following you right Alex, what I did was
change the dataDescriptor's getChildren() function to this :
------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-
override public function getChildren(node:Object, model:Object =
null):ICollectionView
{
var childrenCollection:ICollectionView;
var myCursor:IViewCursor;// = childrenCollection.createCursor();
childrenCollection = super.getChildren(node, model);
if(childrenCollection != null)
{
childrenCollection.filterFunction = ff_childrenCollection;
childrenCollection.refresh();
}
return childrenCollection;
} // END OF getChildren()
//
------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-
And my filterfunction looks like this :
//
------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-
// ff_childrenCollection()
// filterfunction for the children of getChildren
private function ff_childrenCollection(item:Object):Boolean
{
if(item.attribute("visibility") == '1')
{
return true;
}
return false;
} // END OF ff_childrenCollection()
//
------------------------------------------------------------------------\
-
Now when I'm updating my list, the CPU jumps to 100%, so it sounds like
I'm in an endless loop. Plus the top level branches move around - for
example, I updated a child under a branch at the top of the list and the
branch moved down, 2 branches from the bottom. So before it would look
like this :
BEFORE
Company
|
|-- Department 1
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 2
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 3
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 4
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 5
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
AFTER :
Company
|
|-- Department 2
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 3
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 1 << it moved here from the top
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 4
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Department 5
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
|
|-- Person
|-- Person
|-- etc..
