Set resultFormat="e4x", and do not depend on the built in decoder. Loop over the XML list and build you own ArrayCollection.
Or use ArrayUtil.toArray(), Or inspect the result and handle it conditionally.

It seems like Flex 3.0 still has the same problem. If the XML I am getting from the server looks like this: <root> <node ..../> <node ..../> <root> that is, a root tag with more than one child node, event.result.root.node will be of type ArrayCollection. But if the XML is like this: <root> <node ..../> </root> where there is only one child tag, event.result.root.node becomes of type mx.utils.ObjectProxy. This is causing my application to bomb because I'm automatically storing the results in an ArrayCollection. Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
