Re: [flexcoders] simple ArrayCollection question

[Kevin]

I solved my own problem!  I had forgotten to include the 'new'  
keyword...it's getting late in NYC!

code should read:
public function result(data:Object):void
{
                var myList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(data as Array);
}

I can't seem too create an ArrayCollection from and array.  I have  
data being returned (type object) which I can successfully type

wrong?



public function result(data:Object):void
{
                var myList:ArrayCollection = ArrayCollection(data as Array);
}

this works fine,

public function result(data:Object):void
{
                var myList:Array = data as Array;
}

this is what is being sent to result()

var sendList: Object = ['test 0','test 1','test 2','test 3','test  
4','test 5','test 6'];
responder.result( sendList );
.....


Thanks much,
