In need of a App. which can examine .....

Hi there,

I'm in need of creating a Application in Flex AIR (mx) which could examine the text of one (1) textInputBox checking against a hard coded list or Xml list of any of the previous data, and therefor 'Preventing Duplicate Records' to be included! I'm talking here of a list with around 1200+ entries at the moment but growing! I only need the App. to check the existing list against the new text line and if it is a duplicated record to show an Alert - No need of text length or any other Validation at all just to examine and verification if or if not.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated regards aktell

I would use the "contains" command to check for existante records, not sure how fast it is though.
Hope this helps

var xmlt : XML = new XML()
xmlt =
<xml>
<test val="a1">a</test>
<test val="a2">b</test>
<test val="a3">c</test>
<test val="a4">d</test>
<test val="a5">e</test>
<test val="a6">f</test>
</xml>

//returns the node where attribute val == "a3"
trace(xmlt.test.(@val=="a3"))
//returns true
trace( xmlt.test.contains(<test val="a2">b</test>) )
//return true
trace( xmlt.test.contains("f") )
