You're almost there! What you want is for CloserDataAccess to return a list of objects that contain firstname and lastname properties. What you have now is a list of objects that contain other objects (the UserProfileForms), which then contain firstname and lastname.
If your CloserResultsForm java class had public members firstname and lastname, initialized by calling the proper getters from UserProfileForm, your datagrid should work. This wouldn't even require the separate ActionScript classes for CloserResultsForm and UserProfileForm.
