scaleform dataprovider issue

[TOP-Proto]

Hi guys, i got a bit of an issue trying to figure out how to read an array value into uscript.

heres the setup.

1 flash movie, with a dropdown menu on it populated using dm2.dataProvider = ["blah","blah blah"];

now in actionscript i can do this

trace(dm2.dataProvider);

and this

trace(dm2.dataProvider[0]);

The first instance returns [DataProvider (2)] .
the second returns blah.

So i plug this into uscript.

i have a GFXObject theList that is hooked up properly.
next i do

local string mystring;
mystring= theList.GetString("dataProvider");

and it works great i get back [DataProvider (2)] .

my problem happens when i try to do

local string mystring;
mystring= theList.GetString("dataProvider[0]");

my string array returns nothing. So i figure its not returning a string or im asking for the value in the wrong way.

so i next try

local GFxObject mystring;
mystring= theList.GetObject("dataProvider[0]");

and it returns None.

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?? is it the way i wrote the code??

Thanks guys.

This code will return the complete dataProvider array:

local array<string> Pieces;
local int i;

GetVariableStringArray("_root.theList.dataProvider", 0, Pieces);
for(i=0;i<Pieces.Length;i++)
	`log("["$i$"]"@Pieces[i]);
