ResultFormat="object" in webservice. Flawed or is it me??

Question

<mx:WebService id="getListTargs"
wsdl="myurl/dropper.cfc?wsdl" useProxy="false">
<mx:operation result="testRet();" name="dropRanges"
fault="Alert.show(event.fault.message)" resultFormat="object"/>
</mx:WebService>
When I get the XML back from that webservice it comes back as
a string and not an object. Is something wierd with resultFormat or
do I have to do some kind of conversion to get it into an
object????

The code below is working to populate a class with the values
returned from a web service, ofcourse you have to create the class
and create the callback function but I believe you have to create
the class even with the full blown FDS Java implementation so it's
a trivial task.
This code is all AS, as I personally dont like using the
tags.
These are two load functions in a custom ArrayCollection, so
ignore the this. calls as they are just calling super class
functions.
public function LoadAllModules():void
var ws:WebServices = WebServices.Instance;
var op:AbstractOperation =
ws.Service.getOperation("GetAllModules");
op.addEventListener("fault", ws.Fault_Callback);
op.addEventListener("result", this.LoadAllModules_Callback);
op.send();
private function
LoadAllModules_Callback(result:ResultEvent):void
this.disableAutoUpdate();
for (var s:String in result.result)
var m:MyClass = new MyClass();
m.ModuleID = result.result[s].ModuleID;
m.Name = result.result[s].Name;
m.BaseName = result.result[s].BaseName;
m.AssemblyName = result.result[s].AssemblyName;
m.AssemblyNamespace = result.result[s].AssemblyNamespace;
m.Active = result.result[s].Active;
m.RemoteFiles = result.result[s].RemoteFiles;
this.Add(m);
this.itemUpdated(m);
this.enableAutoUpdate();
}
