I can't get the array from a Parse JSON since it returns an object. Please help.

Here is the schema of my Parse JSON, that was generated from a collection I passed into it from a PowerApp.  The problem is there is no "array" and all examples I've found refer to an "array".  I need to loop through the values passed in the collection inside the flow, but I have not been able to find out how to do this with a structure like this as all attempts end in errors.  Even the examples where an "object" is said to work, refer to a "body", which again is not present in this structure.
 
Thank you!

    @FLMike I think I passed some junk sample for the Parse JSON because when I rebuilt the flow it appears to now want to pass an array.  I used the exact same call, so it has to be that I screwed up the Parse JSON and it got confused.  Lesson learned, when you are totally confused by what is happening try rewriting from scratch to see if maybe the 2nd time you don't screw yourself 😅
