Creating 2 dataproviders from one remote object

Question

Hello,
I have created a remote object that populates an
arrayCollection to be used as a dataprovider for a pulldown menu
item. In one instance I want to append data to the dataProvider to
show an additional item in the list and in the other dataProvider I
just want the data returned from the Remote call. The problem is
that when I add the additional item to the list it is also
reflected in the second arrayCollection. How can I use one remote
call to populate 2 separate arraycollections and not have changes
made to one of the collections reflected in the other?

Answer 1

Not quite... What I have is one datacall the populates two
different arrayCollections that are dataproviders. In one of the
arrayCollections I'm adding an additional element (i.e. Show All),
but in the other array collection I don't want the additional
option to be visible. When I add the additional element to the
first arrayCollection it modifies the second arrayCollection .
Here's my code (short hand):
[Bindable] array1:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
[Bindable] array2:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
private function getData():void{
----Code to get data from server here
----call to function to handle result();
private function handleResult(e:ResultEvent):void{
array1 = e.ResultEvent as ArrayCollection;
array1.addItemAt("Show All", 0);
array2 = e.ResultEvent as ArrayCollection;
When I add the item to array1 it is also reflected in array2
and I don't want this as these ACs are used to populate pulldown
menus. Hope this helps to clarify...
