The Flex team has started posting some free components on the Adobe Flex Exchange. The first one up is an auto-completing text input component. I haven’t looked at it yet, but it looks like it works the same way as a normal TextInput, with the addition of a dataProvider property that you can set to give it the list of possible completions. You can also specify a custom filter function that lets you implement other kinds of matching against the completion list (the default is to find entries with the user’s typed string as a prefix). Check it out!

I went ahead and tried to extend it and it was a pretty easy to do. You can check out what I did with it here:

How do i support RegEx search in the Array?? Instead of just starting letters?
I’ve been working on another version the AutoComplete component. If the one above doesn’t do it for you give it a try
