I am newbie to Flex2 so there is probably a better way todo this  ..
but here is my solution .. 

-----------------------------------------------------
public var con:ArrayCollection = 
        new ArrayCollection([{name: 'Matt', last: 'Matthews'}
                            ,{first: 'Matt', last: 'Smith'}
                            ,{first: 'Albert', last: 'Jones'}]
                        );
                        
public function howManyFirst():void
{
        var fst:int =0;
        for ( x=0 ; x < con.length ; x++ ) 
        {
          if ( con[x].hasOwnProperty("first") == true ) 
          {
                fst++;
          }
        }       
        Alert.show("There are "+fst+" first elements");
}
--------------------------------------------------------------
