I want to generate combo boxes dynamically in Flex 3 with an ArrayCollection, having success until returning only one record

When my arraycollection returns more than one row, i have success generating my dynamic text fields and combo boxes. I am attaching code and screen shots.

private function skuOptionsHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
		{
			acOptionTypeName = event.result.options.optionTypeName as ArrayCollection;
			for(var i:int; i < acOptionTypeName.length; i++)
			{
				var optText:Text = new Text();
				optText.x = optTextX;
				optText.y = optTextY;
				details.addChild(optText);
				optTextY += 30;
				optText.text = acOptionTypeName[i].name + ": ";
				
				var optCombo:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
				optCombo.x = optComboX;
				optCombo.y = optComboY;
				details.addChild(optCombo);
				optComboY += 30;
				acOptionArray = event.result.options.optionTypeName[i].option as ArrayCollection;
				optCombo.dataProvider = acOptionArray;
				optCombo.labelField = "value";
				//optCombo.value = "id";
			}
		}
