Also, if you post the bug number here, I'm sure a few people can vote on the issue. Thanks, Peter FrogMo / peterh,

I think they just used ListCollections on flat hierarchies and when they added the XML counterpart, they forgot expand the filterFunction's functionality.

Like JabbyPanda said that is a HUGE limitation. Is there somework around for this? Is there a way to assign a filterFunction on each level of the XMLListCollection hierarchy?

My understanding is that when you try to filter a specific dataField you can do this: "if (item.origin == "WA")" "origin" is a specific column on a datagrid column. But what if I want to store that datafield column in a variable? for example: var custom_datafield:String = "origin" ; and do this: if (item.custom_datafield == "WA") -- I am not getting any returned records and it did not give me errors as well. I need your expertise on this. Are there any other way to do this? In case you are wondering why I need to store the dataField name into a variable is because I am creating a datagrid component that will accept any XML file using only one datagrid and one filter functionality. Thanks, Arnold Hi Peter,
