accessing an array nested in an object nested in an array

this is what I have. I just need to check if the array_key_exists or in_array on the children array.

Tried the following:

if ( in_array( $this->action, $_ms->ms_nav{$this->component}->children[] ) );
if ( in_array( $this->action, $_ms->ms_nav{$this->component}['children'] ) );
if ( in_array( $this->action, $_ms->ms_nav{$this->component}->children[] ) );

which returns Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array
