Some of the stuff in Flex 2 may assist in
this a little, but I think for now you’re going down the right path. Matt From: Hello Flex Coders, I want to be able to expand the Type-ahead
filtering concept of a filtering custom dataprovider to a dataset of about
5,000 items. I’m in the early stages of planning this and
am thinking of a combination of an Implicit Paging Dataprovider (aka Matt
Chotin’s large datasets blog) and a text filtering dataprovider. This is how I’m thinking of tackling the
problem: talk to the server in the beginning of the filter, and then switch to
client side filtering when the filtered dataset is down to one page. Has anyone tried this before? Any suggestions
before I go down this path? Is Flex2 DG going to help me accomplish this
any easier? Thanks for any ideas or comments, Allen
