This is probably the Object vs Array problem. The player is unable to differentiate between an array with a single element and an object. Test by adding another "data" node.
I advise changing the default resultFormat to "e4x" and doing the conversion to ArrayCollection manually, instead of letting Flex do it for you. Or use XMLListCollection directly. Accepted best practice seems to be using resultFormat="e4x" and building an ArrayCollection of strongly typed VOs. If you are committed to staying with the default resultFormat, you will need to inspect the event.result object to determine what it contains, and code for the two cases.

I am using a servlet to output information in the following format: <system> <data> <name>Channel 1</name> <id>Rep1</id> </data> </system> But I am now getting a runtime error: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.utils::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.collections.ArrayCollection Code: public function initializeBrowser(evt:ResultEvent):void { var arr:ArrayCollection = evt.result.system.data; } <mx:HTTPService id="reportsList" result="initializeBrowser(event)" useProxy="false" method="GET" url="{dbURL}"/>
