This chapter is taken from the authorized Flex curriculum built by Adobe Customer Training courses that focus on developing Flex applications.
In this chapter, you will manipulate data that is residing at the client. You will:
- Filter a data set using the ArrayCollection's filterFunction property
- Sort a data set with the Sort and SortField classes
- Locate objects in a data set using a cursor

These walkthroughs are key to learning and should be done as you encounter them in the text. The files used in the walkthroughs are contained in the ZIP file. Follow the instructions below to unzip and install the files. This chapter assumes you have installed Flex Builder 3.
