No, FHeader is just a record and not an array. IMO the provided code 
should work, assuming 
a) HeaderLen <= sizeof(TSomeHeader)
b) stream is a correctly initialized stream object
c) myObject is initialized correctly.

However, just a few more lines to make a complete and compilable example 
that shows the error would be nice ...
