Accessing RemoteObject results

[ProjectedSurplu]

I have a RemoteObject which returns an array which I can bind to a datagrid.

1.)  However, how can/do I access an element of the array to say populate a Label?  I've tried every combination of syntax/processing I can think of, both directly using lastResult as well as via a function but no joy so far . . .

2.) If I'm returning a set of "page components" should I create an AS3 class/VO and assign the returned array values to it (and if so how)?

3.) If I want to save said VO as a storedObject . . . .

4.) How can I use the above element to say populate an image control where source="http:www.mysite/images/{element}.jpg"

Sorry if this covers many issues but I'm trying to take  baby steps

K, so accessing the results seems to require a reference to the array such as:

myData.getItemAt(0).database_column_name    OR        text="{myData[0].nickname}"    

Also, image addressing can be achieved through concatenating the aforementioned results with the static text such as:

picture1.source = myData.getItemAt(0).ImageServer + '/noleech.gif';

Any help with the ValueObject and StoredObject issues would still be appreciated though (ie. why/when to create VO and/or how to assign to a StoredObj?)

What server technology are you using?

cf8 on windows server 2003 with IIS connecting to a MySql database

Definitively VO will be the way to go in your case, if you have Flex Builder you can use the CF wizards to create VOs.

To be perhaps more specific:

1.  Should arrays returned to flex be (generally in medium-large apps) converted to a "ValueObject".  Is there any guidelines when a VO is needed/desirable?

1.b.  Cairngorm etc aside, just for getting started/learning purposes is process as follows inaccurate:    RemoteObject data (say image_filenames.jpg) received >>>> to ValueObject >>>> to StoredObject >>>> accessed by (say) tileList component   ????

2.  Is the "Model Object" pattern outlined here: http://blog.tsclausing.com/post/24  good practice to use whenever creating/modifying a VO?? (i.e. does data received directly from the server need to be passed through as a safeguard?)

3. The relational java objects discussed here: http://blog.olivermerk.ca/index.cfm/2007/6/1/Flex-Converting-ObjectProxies-to-Value-Objects     and elsewhere I assume refer to Java Server Pages  -- which (and correct me if I am wrong) "reside" on a java based webserver (like say tomcat?) and allow said webserver to interact directly with the database.

4.  Following on 3., my "learning curve" went through DW3 >>> CF8 >>> Flex    so I know this is probably waay reaching but how does JSP performance compare to CFusion (which I know is Java based but still seems like an intermediary step to me).  Moreover, I know CF has benefits like data modelling that offset the cost but can anyone comment in light of the extent to which Flex/client-side code alters a "conventional" MVC architecture (ie.  MVC is easy to "understand" if you say Model=database, View=HTML, Controller=Coldfusion/PHP   but if you store and process data client side then at least some Model and Controller is duplicated/dispersed to a "AS3 View")

Thanks in advance,
