When the combobox is rendered all the values displayed look like [object Object].

Question

I wasn't sure where to post this so please forgive me.
I am trying to populate a combobox with a series of values
returned from a Coldfusion method that retrives a resault froma
database. Basically all the data from a table of staff.
<cffunction name="getUsers" access="remote"
returntype="array">
<cfquery name="q" datasource="#datasource#">
SELECT *
FROM STAFF_CHARTS_STAFF_TEMP
</cfquery>
<cfset aRecordset= querytoarray(q)>
<cfset flash.result=aRecordset>
<cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="querytoarray" returntype="array"
output="No">
<cfargument name="q" required="Yes" type="query">
<cfset var aTmp = arraynew(1)>
<cfif q.recordcount>
<cfloop query="q">
<cfset stTmp = structNew()>
<cfloop list="#lcase(q.columnlist)#" index="col">
<cfset stTmp[col] = q[col][currentRow]>
</cfloop>
<cfset arrayAppend(aTmp,stTmp)>
</cfloop>
<cfelse>
<cfset stTmp = structNew()>
<cfloop list="#lcase(q.columnlist)#" index="col">
<cfset stTmp[col] = "">
</cfloop>
<cfset arrayAppend(aTmp,stTmp)>
</cfif>
<cfreturn aTmp>
</cffunction>
The result from a call of CF method getUsers is set as the
data provider to ComboBox with id = "cb"
<mx:RemoteObject
id="myService"
destination="ColdFusion"
source="staff_ratings.staff_Ratings-debug.staff"
showBusyCursor="true">
<mx:method name="getUsers" result="handleResult(event)"
fault="Alert.show(event.fault.message)"/>
</mx:RemoteObject>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
[Bindable]
public var sResult:Array;
public function handleResult(event:ResultEvent):void{
sResult=event.result as Array;
cb.dataProvider=sResult;
]]>
</mx:Script>
However when the combobox is rendered all the values
displayed look like [object Object].
I think the problem is that the result is a array of arrays
so I need to find away to ectract a particular colun of data into
the combobox
How do I fix this?

This is what I did for a single field.
If you were wanting the to have muliple fields in the
dropdown, I would concatenate them in the query.
something like
select fname + ' ' + lname + ' ' + anotherfield as tech from
dbo.table
<cffunction name="getTech" output="no" access="remote"
returntype="query">
<cfset var qTech="">
<cfquery name="qTech" datasource="datasource">
select tech
from dbo.table
group by tech
order by tech
</cfquery>
<cfreturn qTech>
</cffunction>
<mx:RemoteObject
id="dataManager"
showBusyCursor="true"
destination="ColdFusion"
source="cust.components.cfgenerated.Records">
<mx:method name="getMasterQuery"
result="getMasterQuery_result(event)" fault="server_fault(event)"
/>
<mx:method name="deleteItem"
result="deleteItem_result(event)" fault="server_fault(event)" />
</mx:RemoteObject>
<mx:ComboBox id="TECH"
dataProvider="{dataManager.getTech.lastResult}" labelField="tech"
/>
