The default resultFormat is "object" which causes Flex to convert your XML into a structure of nested dynamic objects. You have no control over this conversion.
Set resultFormat="e4x" and process the XMLList into your own ArrayCollection.

A JSP is returning the following XML to Flex via an HTTPService call: <train> <trainId>33E-30</trainId> </train> The above is showing up in the ResultObject of the http service call as: 3.2999999999999997e-29 So when viewing my ArrayCollection I am not getting the string 33E-30, which is what I want. All other values for this XML are working correctly, unless it is some number followed by an E (3E-4, 44E-2, etc) It looks like Flex is treating this as some mathematical formula instead of as a string, even though it is typed as a string. Any ideas on how to work around this? I am thinking that it is happening when the xml is being returned to Flex. Any ideas?
