Thanks for the idea Daniel. Tried it, and it appears that the #data element of a Flash shared object is an object, not a property list. So:
tData = gsoConfig.getAprop(#data) returns an object, which makes the next line not work: if tData.ilk = #propList then tConfigInfo = tData.getAprop(#configInfo) else .. endif Only problem is, I don't know how to get the #data object to report whether or not one of it's child objects exists...
