I think this feature is GREAT. one bug i found that i’m having trouble fixing. I have this auto suggest on a popup box which sends the result back to the parentApplication and then close after the go button is clicked. however i notice that if i press the button again to re-open the popup suggest search and begin typing… there are now 2 identical auto suggest windows displaying the arraycollection data. and if i close the window and re-open and start typing… now there are 3. this will happen every time i close the popup and re-open it. moving the pop up window and typing shows the old position of the last suggest box. any way to fix this one?

The “view source” link for this is incorrect, probably because the swf is loading into a modal box.

The URL should point to:

Thanks for the work you’ve done on this. I’ve taken it and modified it a bit for an application that I have, and it’s working beautifully.

I did want to report one bug I found in using this component. If you do the following…

1. Position your AutoSuggest box so that it expands/opens upward.

2. Enter filtering criteria so that only a couple items are left in the open list

You will see that the dropdown box has a significant gap between it and the text box that you are typing into. In my case, it looks like about a 50px gap.
