event.result must not be an array. when you are assigning it "as
Array" it is returning null.
use the debugger to determine the actual datatype of event.result. I
would guess it is an ArrayCollection, not an Array. But it could be
some other kind of list or object too. (XMLList, etc). Hard to tell
without knowing where the data is coming from.
