Getting salesforce metadata in flex

Hi,

I am developing a flex component to get all the fields of a salesforce object, I use DescribeSobject  function to access the meta data.

Althought I am stuck at a place, from the server I get all the data into an array called fields, but I cannot get the fields out of the array for displaying. Can someone tell me what is wrong???
