Answer 1

On change event of TextInput, apply a filter.I am giving sample code over here:
private function filter():void {
                                        (your list dataprovider).filterFunction = filterMyArrayCollection;
                                         (your list dataprovider).refresh();
                              private function filterMyArrayCollection(item:Object):Boolean {
                                        var searchString:String = (Your textinput id).text.toLowerCase();
                                        var itemName:String = (item.(property of list provider which is to be searched) as String).toLowerCase();
                                        return itemName.indexOf(searchString) > -1;
This will help you in following manner:
when you type "D" in textinput, the list will show you the names which start with "D" or include the letter "D" in their spelling.
