The ArrayCollection is designed for object storage and not object value retrieval. So. one way to get the value out of an object stored in an ArrayCollection is to provide a context to work in as:
trace( Foo( acTest[0] ).bar ); This assumes that the ArrayCollection is filled full of objects of type Foo - the wrapper lets you 'peek' inside the object for its value.

You can use acTest.getItemAt( 0) acTest.source[ 0] also compiles. If you are using Flexbuilder, Cntl-Space (or PC equivalent) gives you "content assist", so just type it after the period and see what you get.
