Passing a Flex object to CFC

Question

I have no problem passing a query object to my Flex app and
use it to populate a datagrid (arraycollection).... however, I want
to use this same data to update the database when the user clicks
on save, and instead of looping through each row (calling my
remoteobject each time) is there a way I can format this
information into an array, array collection or some other form of
flex object and pass ti back to another cfc function to do the
update?????
I've read elsewhere that its possible to do with a
remoteobject, however, my attempts were futile and I cannot find an
example anywhere.
I cant find a solution anywhere so and help would be
appreciated.

Here is a simple example I just wrote real quick. This is how
I normally go about passing something an array of items to
Coldfusion. Hope this helps.

{name:"Normal Apple", color:"Red"},
{name:"Sweet Apple", color:"Ged"},
{name:"Rotten Apple", color:"Brown"});
private function createApples():void {
AppleManager.Create_Apples(apples);
private function createApplesResult(event:ResultEvent):void
Alert.show("You have successfully added some apples into our
system.", "System Notice");
