Return results from ADEP in AS3 Arrays, not ArrayCollections

Question

Hi all,
Is there any way to force ADEP to return results from data services in simple AS3 Arrays, not ArrayCollections? Here are my situation:
In my project I use ADEP Data Management Services. To connect to ADEP services we use RTMP channel defined in services-config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services-config>
     <services>
          <service-include file-path="remoting-config.xml" />
          <service-include file-path="proxy-config.xml" />
          <service-include file-path="messaging-config.xml" />
          <service-include file-path="data-management-config.xml" />
          <service-include file-path="managed-remoting-config.xml" />
          <service class="fiber.data.services.ModelDeploymentService" id="model-deploy-service" />
          <default-channels>
               <channel ref="my-rtmp"/>
          </default-channels>
     </services>
     <channel-definition id="my-rtmp" class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel">
          <endpoint url="rtmp://{server.name}:1000" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/>
          <properties>
               <idle-timeout-minutes>20</idle-timeout-minutes>
               <block-rtmpt-polling-clients>true</block-rtmpt-polling-clients>
               <rtmpt-poll-wait-millis-on-client>0</rtmpt-poll-wait-millis-on-client>
          </properties>
     </channel-definition>
</services-config>
To manage data in database we defined data services in data-management-config.xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<service id="data-service" class="flex.data.DataService">
    <adapters>
        <adapter-definition id="java-dao" class="flex.data.adapters.JavaAdapter"/>
        <adapter-definition id="mr-java-dao" class="flex.data.adapters.ManagedRemotingDataAdapter" />
        <adapter-definition id="actionscript" class="flex.data.adapters.ASObjectAdapter" default="true"/>
    </adapters>
    <default-channels>
        <channel ref="my-rtmp"/>
    </default-channels>
    <destination id="SomeProduct.SomeItems">
        <adapter ref="java-dao" />
        <properties>
            <source>flex.data.assemblers.SQLAssembler</source>
            <scope>application</scope>
            <metadata>
                <identity property="ID" />
            </metadata>
            <server>
                <database>
                    <datasource>java:comp/env/jdbc/SP</datasource>
                </database>
                <actionscript-class>com.somecompany.classes.SomeCoolClass</actionscript-class>
                <create-item>
                    <procedure name="SomeItems_Insert">
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Session_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Division_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Salesrep_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Area_Code#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Item_ID#" />
                    </procedure>
                    <id-query>SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('Work_Area_Item')</id-query>
                </create-item>
                <fill>
                    <name>all</name>
                    <procedure name="SomeItems_Get">
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Session_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Last_Sync_Time#" />
                    </procedure>
                </fill>
                <update-item>
                    <procedure name="SomeItems_Update">
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Session_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Division_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Salesrep_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Area_Code#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Item_ID#" />
                   </procedure>
                </update-item>
                <delete-item>
                    <procedure name="SomeItems_Delete">
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Session_ID#" />
                        <procedure-param property-value="#Item_ID#" />
                    </procedure>
                </delete-item>
            </server>
        </properties>
    </destination>
</service>
By default, ADEP returns results from SomeProduct.SomeItems destination to Flex side as ArrayCollection of SomeCoolClass instances but I need the data to be returned in simple AS3 Arrays. Recently, I found that there is small optional serialization configuration in channel-definition that should resolve my problem. So I updated my channel-definition in services-config.xml to this:
<channel-definition id="my-rtmp" class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel">
     <endpoint url="rtmp://{server.name}:1000" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/>
     <properties>
          <serialization>
               <legacy-collection>true</legacy-collection>
          </serialization>
          <idle-timeout-minutes>20</idle-timeout-minutes>
          <block-rtmpt-polling-clients>true</block-rtmpt-polling-clients>
          <rtmpt-poll-wait-millis-on-client>0</rtmpt-poll-wait-millis-on-client>
     </properties>
</channel-definition>
However, result are still returned in ArrayCollections.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Answer copied below:
"The problem is that when the focus is on the text box
it's in edit mode. It's only displaying the value interactively entered by
the user, or as a consequence of the change event.  What you need to do is
force the focus off of the text box in code.  You can do a little trick
where you bounce it to a tiny transparent field, which then bounds the focus
back so it doesn't look like the focus changed."
What I ended up doing was calling up the dialog box, then using setfocus with no parameters to remove focus from the field, as follows:
this.rawValue = this.dialogBoxFunction(this.rawValue); // passing current value so dialog box defaults to that value
xfa.host.setFocus();
