Hey, answered my own quetion... figured I'd post it here in case it helped
anyone else...
So... you're using an <mx:WebService> to call a ColdFusion CFC. The
ColdFusion query object returned in lastResult is an array inside an array,
but, it's more than that too (the debugger is your friend) so... the easiest
way to grab a specific value from specific row in a query is to refer to the
query row by array notation and the column by name... so... to grab the
FULLNAME column from row 1 of your query object's result set you'd use...
var mystr : String = MyWebService.myOperation.lastResult[0].FULLNAME;
and if you wanted to bind to that purely in mxml you could also use...
<mx:ArrayCollection id="ac" source="MyWebService.myOperation.lastResult" />
<mx:TextArea text={ac.getItemAt(0).FULLNAME}" />
