load the tree manually into you class heirachy with a load function in your as2 objects
here's an example of what i mean... just look @ the load func
might want to ignore all the event code you probably won't need it
import mx.events.*;
class com.ibm.g3.model.bo.Team
{
public var vo:Object = undefined;
private var origVO:Object = undefined; //concurenccy (future)
// ----------------- this code is to dispatch events ---------------------
public function Team()
{
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
this.vo = new Object();
this.origVO = new Object();
}
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
// ------------------ end event dispatch code ------------------
[ChangeEvent("change")]
public function get teamId():Number{return vo.teamId;}
public function set teamId(v:Number){vo.teamId = v; dispatchEvent({ type: "change" });}
[ChangeEvent("change")]
public function get dashBoard():Boolean{return vo.dashBoard;}
public function set dashBoard(v:Boolean){vo.dashBoard = v; dispatchEvent({ type: "change" });}
[ChangeEvent("change")]
public function get ibmRfpName():String{return vo.ibmRfpName;}
public function set ibmRfpName(v:String){vo.ibmRfpName = v; dispatchEvent({ type: "change" });}
[ChangeEvent("change")]
public function get gmRfpName():String{return vo.gmRfpName;}
public function set gmRfpName(v:String){vo.gmRfpName = v; dispatchEvent({ type: "change" });}
[ChangeEvent("change")]
public function get UserDetailTree():Array{return vo.UserDetailTree;}
public function set UserDetailTree(v:Array){vo.UserDetailTree = v; dispatchEvent({ type: "change" });}
public var hasData:Boolean = false;
// the reason for this load() function is to extract the webservice result into this object because
// we can't assign the webservice result directly to any instance of this class (it will over-write it)
public function load(u:Object)
{
//for concurency later
this.oldVO = u;
//load the object you could use mx.utils.ObjectUtil.copyProperties here
this.teamId = u.teamId;
this.dashBoard = u.dashBoard;
this.ibmRfpName = u.ibmRfpName;
this.gmRfpName = u.gmRfpName;
this.gmRfpName = u.gmRfpName;
// the line below isn't really what i want to do here with this data
//this.UserDetailTree = u.UserDetailTree;
//this is what we should do
for(var i = 0; i < u.UserDetailTree.length)
{
var userDetail:UserDetail = new UserDetail();
userDetail.load(u.UserDetailTree[i]);
}
//not very pretty i realise but it works
hasData = true;
}
public function toString():String
{
return this.ibmRfpName + " - " + this.gmRfpName;
}
}

I thought I had resolved the problem by creating classes in
ActionScript where the collections are specifically designed as
Arrays. The problem seems to be how Flex determines if an object is
an array or not when it reads the message from the web service.
Depending on how I set it up, the problem can appear to be on either
the Flex side, or the .Net side. It's interesting that I can set up
a complex class structure that works in Flex with all of the
appropriate methods, properties and arrays and it translates to the
web service just fine. But, when I try to fill my classes with the
result from the web service, it doesn't recognize the elements and
instantiate the appropriate class. I must be missing something
fundamental.
