I forget what the original problem was/is, but...

if you just want to store an array as a custom property of an object and 
set and retrieve the elements, then the array itself becomes a 
custompropertyset:

put the rect of the last image into tRect
set the uEffects["startsize"] of the last image to tRect
set the uEffects["name"] of the last image to "ganesha"

You now have a custompropertyset named "uEffects", and you can treat it 
as a serialized array property of the image, or you can retrieve it as 
an array and use it that way.

-- use individual elements
put the uEffects["startsize"] of image 1 into tNewRect
set the uEffects["towel"] of the last image to 42

-- get the entire array at once
put the uEffects of image 1 into tArray
