Hmm, I am not at all used to interpreting that object dump. But is doesn't look like I expected. For this to work as a dataProvider, it needs to be something like:
oQuestion1 --text (the question text) --aAnswers (an array of answers) ----answer[0] ----answer[1] oQuestion2 --text --aAnswers ----answer[0] ----answer[1] ... Do you see the theory? For a nested repeater, its data must be nested within the data for its parent. The outer repeater is fed by an array of oQuestion objects. You would display say text by saying repeater.currentItem.text. The inner repeater dataProvider would be repeater.currentItem.aAnswers array, and each answer element would create an inner repeater element. Again, I advise XML. It is much easier to undersand and work with. Just have the CF procedure build an xml string, an pass that back to Flex.
