Hmm, can you tell me what functionality you are going for?
I mean, since you are building the itme objects, you will know the structure. You could add a property that describes the structure, say in a delimited list: contactId,String;contactName,String;Field_n1,Boolean;Field_n2,Boolean;.. . You could store it on the first record only. Or you could do a for in loop over the item object properties, and examine them.

Yes, you understood me perfectly. Thank you * one million. Hopefully final question for awhile (yea, who am I kidding)... Is it possible to later check the see which columns in the arraycollection have boolean values? And if so, would you supply some sample code? -Mike --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If I am understanding correctly (untested) > > > > var oItem:Object; > > for ( var i:int=0;i< theColleagues.length;i++) { > > oItem = new Object(); > > oItem.contactId = theColleagues[i].contacID; > > oItem. contactName = theColleagues[i].contactName; > > for ( var j:int=0;j< theItems.length;j++) { > > oItem[theItems[j]] = false; > > } > > myArrayCollection.addItem(oItem) > > } > > > > I'm not sure what you mena by "be the same length as the columns > contactID" > > > > Tracy > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of michrx7 > Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 9:28 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] Someone please help me build this array > collection... > > > > I need to build an array collection with a dynamic # of columns so > that I can use it as a dataProvider in a datagrid. > > I am trying to combine the following: > > 1) Columns 1 & 2 need to be a copy of an arraycollection > called "theColleagues" with two columns that are returned by a > remoteoject call to a CFC. > a) contactID - a list of ID#s > b) contactName - a list of Names > > 2) I have an array with the names of items available on the form > let's say it is called "theItems".
