I have no problems saying: arrayLen(componentInstance.getArray());
Where the component has a method called getArray that returns an array (whether or not the elements in that array are other component instances). Can you show the code where it's failing? It's a bit of a bummer that obj.method()[1] does not work, but it's not surprising that the compiler doesn't like that construct. You might try: myObj.getArray().get(0).getInnerObj() (assuming the first element in the array returned by myObj.getArray is an object with a method called getInnerObj) Though, I thought Arrays copy by value, not by reference in CF -- so, you actually are using more memory for the array itself.
