Hi Patrick, thx a bunch already for answering!!
Actually my example will already allow me to access the values like: trace( myResultObject[0].day ); // prints 'Mon' trace( myResultObject[0].[0].start ); // prints '100' ... But I guess there´s no way to use e.g. that 'start' value directly via MXML binding, hm? I should rather be using a custom renderer for it or flatten the aray on the client pre-binding?! The latter(flatten array on client) just 'feels' a little uncomfortable, as well as it feels not too good to change the data structure in the backend 'only' for flex. thx again & regards carsten --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > The way you constructed your array might come out like this, but not > sure, looks a little crazy > > > myResultObject[0].day.mon.start.100.end.300 > > > Nested Arrays return into Flex as objects.
