Okay...
I see how you did it. You gave the repeater an ID, then used that to get at
the data. However, when I try to do this:
<mx:TextInput width="98" x="0" id="sName{serverList.currentItem}" />
I get the following error:
'sName{serverList.currentItem}' is not a valid identifier
When I try to output that variable into a text area, I simply get [object
Object].
What am I doing wrong?

Stefan...
I'm going to give that a try as that might get me where I want to go. But I
guess my primary question is "is that the best way"? Given my explanation of
what I'm trying to, is there a better/easier way to get at the data?

Hi Andy,
you can use the currentItem property to set dymanic values within the
repeater:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var myArray:Array=[1,2,3,4];
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC" source="{myArray}"/>
<mx:Repeater id="myrep" dataProvider="{myAC}">
<mx:Label id="Label1" text="This is loop #{myrep.currentItem}"/>
</mx:Repeater>
Like this you could also assign values out of your array to the component
that's being repeated.
