I was beating on this combobox/datagrid thingy and was able to have a measure of success by using the same arraycollection ..
BUT, this will populate the dropdown with duplicate entries. I was trying to figure a way around this with flex array manipulation but I just couldnt get it. Searching around I found this little gem, but I admit extending the array with a prototype function in flex is a bit over my melon at the mo.. Array.prototype.removeDuplicates = function(fn,matchFN) { // removes duplicate items from an array and returns a new array var a = ([]).concat(this); (fn==null) ? a.sort() : a.sort(fn); if (matchFN!=null) { for (i in a) if (matchFN(a[i],a[i-1])) a.splice(i,1); } else { for (i in a) if (a[i]==a[i-1]) a.splice(i,1); } return a; } Now is this really something I need to deal with, or shouldnt flex be all snazzy with some neat array manipulation that I just dont seem to see? If it is something I need to add, is there any advice about extending existing flex functions. tia Impudent1 LeapFrog Productions -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
