Try the following: userData:ArrayCollection = event.result as ArrayCollection ;
Then it seems that the array contains untyped object (Dictionary/hashmap type) so: userData.getItemAt(0)["FIRSTNAME"] should give you :"Wally" ; do not have a compiler in hand at the moment ... if the previous line does not work for any reason: var object:Object = userData.getItemAt(0) ; var firstName:String = object["FIRSTNAME"] ; PS: I would recomment to change your backend script a bit in order to return an ArrayCollection of typed User objects PS2: Passwords are normally kept on the server and not transfered on the client , at least not in text form...
