3.1 SearchWidget update

Question

I've been building a custom extension to the SearchWidget and needed to make a couple tweaks to support it.  I've removed some globals and the dependence on indexes (in order to allow filtering), making it a tad more flexible and streamlined.  If my logic's sound I hope it can be considered for 3.2.  I think I found a tiny bug too.  I've attached an updated 3.1 SearchWidget.mxml with the replaced lines commented out.

Thanks a bunch, that works beautifully.  I see each ComboBox was changed to a DropDownList in 3.2, and with these changes I was easily able to update my search extension.

I think I'll install the trial of Flash Builder and try some simple contributions to get the hang of it.  Thanks for the help.

Just wanted to follow up and let you know that we made some changes to the search widget based on the issues you highlighted.  This will be part of the 3.2  release (see GitHub Issue #21).

FYI - you can see the exact code change of our "commit" on GitHub:

Thank you 🙂

Great.  I'm about to leave for a trip so I'll give that a shot when I get back.  Also I hear you can setup the Flex 4 SDK with Eclipse so perhaps I can get that working too.
