pageViews= new ArrayCollection(myArray);

Looks fine. The second one however doesn't make sense where you are initializing the ArrayCollection and then trying to assign the objects again (which won't happen as there's the ; end-of-statement marker).

Does that not work for you?

That does not work that way. When defining a variable, it is basically just present in that scope. You could declare it [Bindable] in the scope of a class, so the class would propagate changes with a PropertyChangeEvent of type PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE. This would allow you using BindingUtils, ChangeWatcher and MXML databinding with <{} /> declarative bindings.

You need to define a class, declare the class or a field [Bindable] and then create instances of the class and reference these through the ArrayCollection. Using vanilla object won't get you somewhere, since those can't dispatch Events.

    package
    {
      [Bindable]
      public class Person
      {
        public var name:String;

        public function Person(n:String)
        {
          name = n;
        }
      }
    }

    const source:Array = [new Person('Fred')]
        , collection:IList = new ArrayCollection(source);

Data binding relies on some key mechanisms like event dispatching, that is something to keep in mind. Also, in one way or the other, a reference to the data being changed need to in the different scopes, where the notification of the change is needed.
