DataSource - FlashIsland concepts issue

Question

Hi everyone, I´m working with FlashIslands and I guess I have a concept issue here with the GACDATASOURCE ....I just can´t iterate the arraycollection in flex.
in WD:
I have a node called A, with 3 attributes, the node cardinality can be 0 .... to N.
I have GACDataSource (Context Node) and three properties (Node Attributes) binded to the context
in flex :
I set a Bindable ArrayContainer object called "tableDataContainer"
I set a Bindable attribute for each of the properties
well, i cant get the attributes values,  the arraycontainer is properly created.... the arrayContainer size and the context node size are both of 3, then i guess I already have the values in flex. but i cant get data, only Objects...
Try 1:
var obj:Object = tableDataContainer.getIndexAt(0);
Alert.show(obj["attr1"]);
Try2 :
var obj:Object = tableDataContainer.getIndexAt(0);
Alert.show(obj.attr1);
does everyone know how to iterate the plain content of the ArrayContainer ?
thanks

hi isaac,
not sure this is what you are looking for. i am a flex developer, have limited amount of knowledge of SAP.
the result of the following code:
Object 0 => name = p
Object 1 => name = m
Object 2 => name = e
completed code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
     initialize="initApp(event);"
     layout="absolute">
     <mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import mx.events.FlexEvent;
               import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
               private function initApp(event:FlexEvent):void
                    var leng:int = tableContainer.length;
                    for(var i:int=0; i<leng; i++)
                         trace("Object " + i + " => name = " + tableContainer<i>.name);
          ]]>
     </mx:Script>
     <mx:ArrayCollection id="tableContainer">
          <mx:source>
               <mx:Object id="p" name="p" />
               <mx:Object id="m" name="m" />
               <mx:Object id="e" name="e" />               
          </mx:source>
     </mx:ArrayCollection>
</mx:Application>
normally, when i get the set of data from the server into my flex app, i will put them into value objects(vo) individually and add each vo to the array collection which is binded to the data source.
hopefully this helps.
