Flash Islands : convert bindable ArrayCollection

Question

Hi Experts,
I'd like to use a Flex calendar component in a Flash Island in my WDA application.
I've created a node (EVENTS) with 3 attributes (STARTTIME, ENDTIME, SUMMARY) and created a GACDataSource (calendarEvents) with 3 GACProperties (startTime, endTime, summary). Then I've created some bindable variables in my Flex application :
[Bindable]
public var calendarEvents:ArrayCollection;
[Bindable]
public var startTime:String;
[Bindable]
public var endTime:String;
[Bindable]
public var summary:String;
If I put a DataGrid in my Flex application and use calendarEvents as dataProvider everything works fine and the data is displayed in the grid :
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{calendarEvents}" id="grid">
     <mx:columns>
          <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Start" dataField="{startTime}"/>
          <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="End" dataField="{endTime}"/>
          <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Summary" dataField="{summary}"/>
     </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
However, if I use calendarEvents as dataProvider for the calendar component, the events are not displayed on the calendar. This component expects an ArrayCollection that looks like :
[Bindable] public var eventsArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{startTime: "2011/03/10 00:00", endTime: "2011/03/11 00:00", summary: "Meeting"}]);
The problem is the calendarEvents ArrayCollection contains WDContextNode objects. How do I convert this ArrayCollection to an ArrayCollection that can be understood by the calendar component?

Problem solved by specifying calendar data with custom functions.
