Ideally, in the result function, the dto would be cast to an associated AS class as a VO; making it strongly typed. This can be done automatically by using [RemoteClass(alias="com.myDTO")] in a VO class; but that's a more involved topic. So, let's take this one step at a time. What is the data type of item.Date_Collected? You can find this by inspecting the the object in debug mode. If it's a string, try this in your filter function:
return item.Date_Collected == dfconv.format(wholeDate.selectedDate).toString(); The key is to compare apples to apples. If one side is an apple and the other is an orange, you have to turn the orange into an apple before comparing. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Blair Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Okay, I guess here is where I¹m stuck or confused about what to do exactly. > Could you suggest a couple of resources I could refer to?
