Why not just do all the logic in the filter fuction?

I have a datagrid populated by an ArrayCollection. I can filter the ArrayCollection from each combo box individually, but I need to filter by multiple selections. For example, I may want to filter by UserID and Carrier and Origin. The obvious solution is to run a conditional that appends a variable and use the variable in the filter conditional. if(cboUserID.text != ""){ filterVar = 'item.USER_ID == cboUserID.text'; } if(cboCarrier.text != ""){ filterVar = filterVar + 'item.Carrier == cboCarrier.text'; } public function processFilters(item: Object):Boolean { if (filterVar.toString()) { return true;} { return false; } The problem is that the processFilters function won't accept the filterVar as a string. Is it a matter of using a different datatype or do I need to escape characters or is this not possible? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Mike Baker m_ba...@goodyear.com
