Is this the line you're referring to? callLabel[item..callLocation_id] = new formField();
If so.... I see a few issues. when you instantiate callLabel you're missing parentheses. Should look like this: callLabel = new Array(); You should also use push() to add items to an array, not the [] notation. Here is the approach I would recommend. Rename callLabel to something that conveys its a collection and make it of type ArrayCollection. Instantiate and set the properties on your formField components before adding them to the collection. Then use ArrayCollection's methods to retrieve the object later. The code for all that might look something like this: var callLabelCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); // inside your loop (classes should really start with a capital letter) var ff:FormField = new FormField() ff.labelText = item..callLocation_DisplayName; ff..callLocationId = item..callLocation_id; ff.allowableDataFlag = item..deptCategory; callLabelCollection.addItem(ff); // then to retrieve an item later you can do this var someFF:FormField = callLabelCollection.getItemAt(callLabelCollection.getItemIndex(ffToFind)); HTH, Ben --- In [email protected], "donvoltz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have another very long post on the list, however, think I have been > able to focus my question some.
