Hi Jim,

I have no flash builder here, but you should extend the filterfunction. Just make sure the method returns a boolean value.

If you don’t get it working, you can try our forum!

I was wondering, how can I search not only on product item but also on stock item?

I found my solution.

In my data-access method, I must translate any NULL values to empty strings. This forces the regular expression search to work for me.

Also, I wanted to know how to reset the filter textbox’s default text. Here is how I approached it:

private function resetMyTextInput():void {
if (myTextInput.text.length==0)
myTextInput.text = “Filter/Search..”;
}

in MXML, add this to your TextInput. and it re-display the user message for filtering.
focusOut=”resetMyTextInput()”

Hello,

What happens if you have a NULL value in product?

I am experiencing this and am wondering how to workaround it?
