zone aliases for locator widget results?

[BenAller]

We're using a local geocode service with municipal codes as the zones instead of zip codes.    It would be helpful for our end-users to see the zone names (aka municipal names) in the results tab instead of the zone numbers.  So for example, a locator result of "601 Westtown Rd, 52" would show up as "601 Westtown Rd, West Goshen Township". Is there a way to configure a list of aliases?  Perhaps within the mxml?

Thanks,
Ben

Ben,

   I just tested the code with my locator and replaced my ", 36201" in the results with "West Goshen Township"

Original returned match:

1702 Noble St, Anniston, AL, 36201

modified result:

1702 Noble St, West Goshen Township

                            locateResult.title = addrCandidate.address ? replaceMuniCodes(String(addrCandidate.address)) : widgetTitle;                             function replaceMuniCodes(addStr:String):String                             {                                 var retVal:String = addStr;                                 var muniCodeArr:Array = addStr.split(", ");                                 if(muniCodeArr.length == 4){                                     retVal = muniCodeArr[0] + ", ";                                     switch(muniCodeArr[3])                                     {                                         case "36201":                                         {                                             retVal += "West Goshen Township";                                             break;                                         };                                         case "36203":                                         {                                             retVal += "East Goshen Township";                                             break;                                         };                                     }                                 }                                 return retVal;                             }

Try placing a break point in the replaceMuniCodes function and step through the code hovering you mouse over variable to see their values.

   It is just checking if addrCandidate.address is null or not

Adding to Robert's reply, since address is a String the condition will evaluate to false if it is null or an empty string and true otherwise (see AS3 Type Conversions).

Got it!  Just had the wrong array item.  Now reads: switch(muniCodeArr[1]).  Robert, thanks a bunch.  Really appreciate the help!
