OK, so you're not trying to find the value 'VIEW_ALL_CUSTS', you're
trying to find an object whose rightKey property is 'VIEW_ALL_CUSTS'.
Or at least find out if such an object exists. Your ArrayCollection is
holding object, not strings, so in your function you'd need to do
something like this:
for each(var obj:Object in userRights)
{
if(obj.rightKey = 'VIEW_ALL_CUSTS')
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
