If I am understanding your problem, Array should be fine. The problem with array is when you update elements. The change events should get fired when the entire array is replaced. Besides, it sounds like the list part is working correctly.

Well, hmmm... I can't rewrite it so data.course_fees is an ArrayCollection -- when I change the 'EventVO.as' such that course_fees is an ArrayCollection instead of an Array, it comes back from the database as null... Perhaps that's a problem with my CF code (EventVO.cfc and EventDAO.cfc)? How do you get CF to send data back as an ArrayCollection instead of an Array? I'm thinking that's not possible... If I leave the EventVO.as alone, and course_fees is an Array, then I still have the same problem in my ItemRenderer -- doesn't seem to matter if I make listOfFees an Array or ArrayCollection... --- In flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com, "Laurence" <lmacne...@...> wrote: > > Hmmm...
