Well i have a Array as a datasource say values {"A","B","C","D"}

using a repeater i want to create a ui with each value in the array as a label
element. this is pretty easy.

but, I want to do it on the basis of some condition like say if the value in
the array is "C' then i dont want to create a label for it..

any idea how to achieve this?

Your question isn't very clear, but it sounds like you want to ignore C
completely.

If so, use an ArrayCollection instead and filter out C with a
filterFunction.

If that is not what you want to do, then just use something like this in the
label's visibility property within your itemRenderer file:

<mx: label visibility="{myProperty!='C'}" text = "{myProperty}" />

If you set the label visibility based on 'C' it will still create a component
so say within a VBox you'll have a gap between the items. If this is not
desirable a better way be to go with either the filter function or create a
seperate dataProvider that has the items you don't want created already removed
and use that for a repeater. Your other option is to skip the repeater and use
straight AS 3 running a loop over your array. You can then check for C in your
loop and if it's true don't create a new component in your loop. It all depends
on your desired result of which one would be better to use.
