   Thanks for the tip,
   Quick question, if i use “additem” on the collection do i need to refresh the collection to filter the new data? or will it do it automatically?

   Hi James,
   The filter will be automatically applied when you addItem .. you do not need to refresh

   Hi this is a great implementation of filters. Is there a way to filter one version of an array or xmlcollection and still have access to the unfiltered version for use at the same time by a different component?
   Thanks

   Yes you can create a ListCollectionView from the original ArrayCollection and filter the view.

   Also the property list of ArrayCollecition gives you the raw data, unfiltered and unsorted.

   Hi, may i know does this works for TileList?

   Yanhua,

   Yes it would work with a TileList as well, filterFunction acts on your data provider, when the data provider changes whatever control is dependent on that data updates

   I have an if else statement for my textinput filter. I tried to combine the above codes into the filter function(from example, filterForTestData). When i combined the two if else statements together, it can’t work.

   It is either my textinput filter can work or the slider can work all depends which if else statement i put right after the .. boolean {.

    Correct way to use filterFunction ( Dont apply the filterFunction on the main dataProvider instead use a ListCollectionView) .

    ListCollView filtered = new ListCollectionView(myArrycoll);

    Right click for view source:

    Vijay,

    ListCollectionView is another way to do this provided you need multiple views … my example above doesn’t

    Why exactly is that “the correct way” ?

    I have been using filterFunction to filter out the data that I render on a TileList. Is there a way to have add and remove item effect for filterfunction too? I had tried having showEffect and hideEffect (wipeout and wipein) to the itemRenderer of the TileList. Even though it works, its add an unpredictable behavior to the items rendered on the TileList. Some items doesnt get listed and if i refresh, they come back again. Seems not a feasible solution. Have you been able to get around this problem Mrinal?
