Using the example above: <pre class="code"> var found:Boolean = cursor2.findAny({Territory: ”Arizona”}); </pre> Ok, The answer is on the cursor.findAny line you need to specify the field name.

Why wouldn't this work? I am trying to do something similar only with an ArrayCollection that is setup like this:

new ArrayCollection([{Region:"Southwest", Territory:"Arizona",Territory_Rep:"Barbara Jennings", Actual:38865, Estimate:40000}, {Region:"Southwest", Territory:"Arizona", Territory_Rep:"Dana Binn", Actual:29885, Estimate:30000}]);

So then I made a simple test function:

private function testDpfind():void {
	var sortField2:SortField = new SortField("Territory", true);
            var sort2:Sort = new Sort();
            sort2.fields = [sortField2];
            dpFlat.sort = sort2;
            dpFlat.refresh();
            var cursor2:IViewCursor;
            cursor2 = dpFlat.createCursor();
	var found:Boolean = cursor2.findAny("Arizona");
	mx.controls.Alert.show("Hey",""+found);
}

Every time it throw this error:

“Error: Find criteria must contain at least one sort field value.”

Why wouldn’t this work?
