Thanks David, OK, HTTP -> String... that clears a lot! Can you give a little example of how to do you typically have to serialize your data to send via HTTP, then deserialize the sent data to use it as an object that's not a string.

But sending data via HTTP requires that you use strings. In the simplest case, you'd at least have to convert the array to a string to store it within the single form field. This kind of thing is a fairly common problem with web applications - you typically have to serialize your data to send via HTTP, then deserialize the sent data to use it as an object that's not a string. Normally, as an occasional Flex guy, I end up using AMF which includes serialization/deserialization functionality to handle this for you.
