I think the arrays will need to be converted to some sort of simple objects,
the parent will need a children field that consists of myChildrenArray:
var _kid:Object = {type: myChildrenArray[0], name: myChildrenArray[1]};
var __mom:Object = {type: myParentArray[0], name: myParentArray[1], children:
new ArrayCollection([_kid])}
var companyData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([__mom]);
If you keep references to the ArrayCollection that makes up the children you
can insert/remove other children

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] How do I enter 2 arrays into one arraycollection
Thank you both for your replies.
Tracy, if I were to concat() the two arrays, how would I be able to slip in
the children field in the first array that represents the data from the second
array.
Basically, I am attempting to populate a advancedDatagrid using the combination
of two amfphp arrays. The data needs to be in Hierarchial format such as this :
combinedArrayCollec tion(parentDataA rray, childrenDataArray)
This would allow me to populate the datagrid with a groupable title and do a
inlinerender of another adg with the children data from combinedArrayCollec
tion.
Maybe I am looking at this problem wrong since really all I need is to append
children:[arrayData ] to the first array to get it to work.
Do you have any advice on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks again for all of the help!
Terry

Also, you could splice() or concat() the source arrays, then wrap the result in

Brute force approach (not sure if it'll compile, but it'll get you close):
var combinedArray: Array = new Array();
for each(var obj:Object in array1)
{
combinedArray. push(obj) ;
}
for each(obj in array2)
{
combinedArray. push(obj) ;
}
myArrayCollection. source = combinedArray;
