The default resultFormat of most (all?) the RPC data services is "object". With this Flex tries to interpret whatever result it is getting and build a nested object structure. I suspect this data type conversion is happening there.
Make your resultFormat="e4x". This should leave your data alone.

If I'm sending string data down that has the format of a float or scientific notation number (ex: string of 1E0061), then flex is putting it into the lastResult structure as a number. Likewise a string like 3.0 is seen as a number of 3. Is there a way to make Flex not try to interpret strings being returned? Thanks, John
