Selecting certain data from Array

Question

Here is the issue I am faced with.
I am currently using an HTTPService call to a PHP document
that builds XML. I then take that XML and place it into an Array,
(pretty basic as you can tell.)
What I am dealing with is that I have 15 tabs that all
contain similar "notes" sections. I would really like to run 1
HttpService that returns all of the data form the notes, (note
data, username of note) and then placing the appropriate notes data
to the appropriate tab and data grid container.
So I didn't know if there was a way you could select only a
certain part of an Array and then populate a datagrid with that
particular data?
Almost like cutting pieces of a large array out and
displaying thos pieces on different tabs.
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Array has many functions that you can use to do pretty much
anythin goyu eant on it,
filter () method
AS3 function filter(callback:Function, thisObject:* =
null):Array
Executes a test function on each item in the array and
constructs a new array for all items that return true for the
specified function. If an item returns false, it is not included in
the new array.
map () method
AS3 function map(callback:Function, thisObject:* =
null):Array
Executes a function on each item in an array, and constructs
a new array of items corresponding to the results of the function
on each item in the original array.
etc .. look up in API documents it has examples too :
