Any namespaces defined in the XML?

I'm getting the dreaded Type Coercion error on this line: resourcesAC = event.result.resources.resource; resourcesAC is declared as follows: [Bindable] private var resourcesAC : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); My result handler for my HTTPService is: private function handleRscListResult(event:ResultEvent):void{ resourcesAC = event.result.resources.resource; var rscObj:Object = new Object(); rscObj.name = "--New Resource--"; rscObj.resourceID = 0; resourcesAC.addItemAt(rscObj, 0); rscBox.rscListCB.selectedIndex=0; } Turns out that event.result.resources.resource is empty, which is why I'm getting the error. However, I can't figure out why this is empty. Here's my event.result: <resources type="array"> <resource> <capacity type="integer">1</capacity> <created_at type="datetime" nil="true"/> <desc>The grocery store server</desc> <id type="integer">2</id> <name>Rclerk</name> <simulation_id type="integer">4</simulation_id> <time_units>sec</time_units> <updated_at type="datetime" nil="true"/> </resource> </resources> When I check the length of event.result.resources.resource using trace(event.result.resources.resource.length()), I get 0. Why is this? Seems to me it should be 1 - there's one <resource> object in there! The only other guess I have is that somehow "resources" and "resource" are magic words. I was checking my routes.rb file today and noticed the following route: map.resources :resources which struck me as looking peculiar today. Has anyone run across this before? Thanks, LG
