Write a filter function..something like this..setFilter in the code below is a
placeholder for whatever you want to match..presumably from a combo box drop
down that implements the filter.
private function filterAc(item:Object):Boolean {
if(setFilter=='All') return true;
if(item.productType!=setFilter) return false
else return true;
}
now set the filterfunction for you array collection ac on createComplete of the
tilelist
ac.filterFunction=filterAc
Whenever the filter changes you have to call ac.refresh(); this will
automatically call the filter fucntion and check against the setFilter. We do
this for the pagination on our website.
