hello, i get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error. My test show that XMLListCollection does NOT work either.

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.

this error occurs as the line of code:

myList= e.result.list.name;

Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider? Thanks in advance!

code:

[Bindable]
private var myList:ArrayCollection= new ArrayCollection();

        private function getList(e:Event):void{

            var getStudyLoungesService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
            getStuffService.url = "website.com/asdf.php";
            getStuffService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onGetList);
            getStuffService.send();

        }

        private function onGetList(e:ResultEvent):void{

            myList= e.result.list.name;
        }
