Hey,
Thanks for all the suggestions. I starting reading up on the
dictionaries and looping over with objects. I think the source of my
problem is that since I am getting data via xmlrpc I need to use the
IXMLRPCStruct Interface. Since I am passing a list of dictionaries
from python, xmlrpc converts that to a stuct of some type. So I'll
need to use this interface to convert it to the datatype of choice
(hash table).
package com.ak33m.rpc.xmlrpc
{
public interface IXMLRPCStruct
{
function getPropertyData ():*;
}
}

Interestingly the docs say not to use Array for associative
purposes, though it is possible, just not practical it seems now.

Also note you can loop over the items in Object and get keys or
values via the two different for loops: "for..in" and "for each"
See:

Corey,
Associative Arrays are essentially the same thing as Objects
(ok--ObjectProxy for the sticklers). Why don't you consider using
that instead? That way you can use the properyList() fn which returns
a list of property names.
You may need to stick an object into the value position behind those
key names, but that should be too difficult. You would however have
to write a translation method if you are getting all this data from a
server.
