It means that the currentTarget.selectedItem isn't a vo_Task. Sometimes this happens because the data coming from the server wasn't property converted to the type you wanted. Make sure the data items you're getting are in fact mapped to the right classes on both the server and the client.

I then grab the currentTarget.selectedItem which is an Object. I need to turn this Object into a specific Value Object i created called vo_Task. I tried: var thisItem:vo_Task = e.currentTarget.selectedItem; and get the error: "TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to com.nucleusclient.roadmap.vo.vo_Task." I tried var thisItem:vo_Task = e.currentTarget.selectedItem as vo_Task; but that just passes in a BLANK vo_Task The properties of the currentTarget.selectedItem are identical (as far as i can tell) to what should be found in a vo_Task. Any ideas? jonese
