I believe its because you're passing in and looking for a new object.
Even though it has the same properties as an object in the collection
its not the same object. Try this:
var smObj:Object = {fieldTag: "small", value:"t"};
var bigObj:Object = {fieldTag: "big", value:"t"};
public function remItem():void
{
fields.removeItemAt(fields.getItemIndex(smObj));
}
