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.

Mrinal 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” ?

Also the property list of ArrayCollecition gives you the raw data, unfiltered and unsorted. Yes you can create a ListCollectionView from the original ArrayCollection and filter the view.

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?
