You might want to consider using the Model's afterFind() method, instead. But, if you'd rather do it in the controller, the best way to figure out how to access your data is to toss a debug($mydata) in there. (seems to be my standard response these days ;-) You're probably getting hung up on the numerical indexes for a hasMany relation or something.
