Ok, I created an example, and posted it here: http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ChannelID=1&Object=File&objectI D=223
Here is the description: This is an example of how to use the call object to assign an identifier to the results of a data service call, so that you can access that data later. The example uses a free stock quote WebService. When the call is made, we store the stock symbol in the call object. When the call returns, we put that stored symbol, along with the string xml results and a parsed XML document containing the results, into an array of objects. This array is used as the dataProvider for a list. A DataGrid is used to display the stock information. Its dataProvider is the parsed resultxml of the symbol list's selectedItem, using xml properties to navigate down to the childNodes array that holds the stock information. labelFunctions are used to populate the dataProvider. Be sure to put this webservice into your flex-config.xml file: <url>http://www.webservicex.net/*</url> ***Sample App Listing*** .....

Are you calling the dataservice from ActionScript? Are you successfully getting your data into flex, where you can inspect it in a result handler? This is really easier than it sounds, if you are successfully calling and returning data in ActionScript. I plan to write an example of this, but I can't commit to a when.

The examples I've seen don't really illustrate the functionality very well (based on my skillset).
