Re: [flexcoders] passing values to FilterFunctions?

Hi, I find sometimes just subclassing ArrayCollection works. This way your are defining certain types of collections that do different things. You can then add functionality to the class with methods or whatever. This works well for me. Then I define the different filter functions based on that

I would like to attempt to separate my filter functions from my view so that I am not duplicating code when two views share similar filter functions. My idea was to create a class that contains a ListCollection and all the appropriate FilterFunctions for that collection. The FilterFunctio
