Try something like this: <pre class="code"> dedupedArrColl = new ArrayCollection(arr); dedupedArrColl.filterFunction = removedDuplicates; dedupedArrColl.refresh(); </pre> And then change the filtering function to this: <pre class="code"> /** Note that the method has 1 parameter now instead of 3, the rest of the code can remain the same */ private function removedDuplicates(item:Object):Boolean { // ... } </pre> Bob,

I believe it can.

Try something like this:

dedupedArrColl = new ArrayCollection(arr);
dedupedArrColl.filterFunction = removedDuplicates;
dedupedArrColl.refresh();

And then change the filtering function to this:

/** Note that the method has 1 parameter now instead of 3, the rest of the code can remain the same */
private function removedDuplicates(item:Object):Boolean {
   // ...
}
