Add the following code to Frame 1 of the main timeline:

editorsChoice_ch.label = "Editor's Choice";

reviews_xmlconn.direction = "receive";

reviews_xmlconn.multipleSimultaneousAllowed = false;

reviews_xmlconn.URL = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/xml/reviews.xml";

reviews_xmlconn.trigger();

reviews_dg.setSize(320, 240);

reviews_dg.addColumn("name");

reviews_dg.addColumn("rating");

reviews_dg.addColumn("reviewDate");

reviews_dg.getColumnAt(0).width = 100;

reviews_dg.getColumnAt(1).width = 100;

reviews_dg.getColumnAt(2).width = 100;

reviews_dg.setStyle("alternatingRowColors", [0xFFFFFF, 0xF6F6F6]);

editorsChoice_ch.addEventListener("click", editorsChoiceListener);

function editorsChoiceListener(evt_obj:Object):Void {

reviews_ds.filtered = evt_obj.target.selected;

reviews_ds.filterFunc = function(item:Object):Boolean {

return (item.editorsChoice == 1);

};

}

Select Control > Test Movie. By default, the DataGrid component should display each of the

reviews from the external XML document. Clicking on the Editor’s Choice CheckBox

component causes the DataSet component to be filtered, so that only the specific reviews

flagged as an editor’s choice appear.
