Although you could do lots to make this more sophisticated, such as
creating a class for each type of data you are collecting, this looks
like a solid start.
One thing you could do to improve it (which might solve your problem),
is to let the compiler know which variables it should set up for
binding. Like this:
[Bindable]
public var client:Object;
[Bindable]
public var options:Object;
[Bindable]
public var files:ArrayCollection;
Hope that helps.
