I'm using the data/services in Flash Builder 4 to access the php functions of a site within an Air based Crud, and figuring out the most efficient ways to work with the data objects that come back.
protected function getAllListResult_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
allContacts = event.result as ArrayCollection;
}
The data comes back as an associative array, which is fine if I want everything from it to be treated the same. But I'm not sure how I am supposed to pull a particular column from the array without having to go through a for loop to parse through it .. since right now the contact name would be at allContacts[i].name.
Basically I want to make a list of the names from the allContacts, so I want an array of allContacts[i].name to set as the data provider for a element. Is there any way to get that done without having to write a for loop to convert it into a new array or writing a new php function?
Many components (List, ComboBox etc.) have the property labelField. It's better to bind the whole arraycollection as data provider, than use the labelField property to display only the desired column
