Thanks for the assistance. I have left the resultformat blank (feel free to share why I shouldn't do this as I am always looking for best practices/advice). However,in previous projects, I have taken the return data from an http service and immediately put it in an arraycollection in the resulthandler. I just assumed the same could be done here when using Cairngorm, but apparently something isn't correct. I tried your suggestion below and am still receiving an error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.utils::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to Array.
