I was wondering if anyone has tried to zip up json files and load them in AS3 with the FZip library.My json files are syntactically correct (when I load them with URLLoader they load fine) but when I try to JSON.decode() them after I have loaded them from FZip, I get this error.

I'm currently working on a project for Adobe Air (1.5.3) and I need to unzip a file, copy some of its contents to another file. Then I saw people talking about the Fzip ([URL]) lib. The problem is that I don't know how to "import" or use this library with Javascript and Adobe Air, since Javascript doesn't have the import directive.
Using the office open XML format by microsoft I was able to create the files needed for a clean Word document. These files are all XML files. What I do is write the XML content to a different bytearray for each file.
I then add the bytearray's to the FZIP library [url] and create a docx file using the following code:
CODE:
Ok this creates a new docx file in my documents. If I rename the .docx to .zip and unzip it it will follow the exact structure needed for Word documents (example: [url]
In this example "Untitled Document" was originally "Untitled document.docx" (then renamed to .zip and extracted)
So you can see everything works fine untill... you try to open the "Untitled document.docx" in Word. It will say the file is corrupt.
WHAT DOES WORK HOWEVER... After extracting the docx file (like in screenshot) when you select all the files/folders inside the Untitled Document folder and ZIP those, then rename ZIP file to docx (see result: [url]) it works fine in Word and word reads the file correctly.
NOTE: If you try to zip and rename the Untitled Document folder again it will become corrupt again as well.
So my question: What could be the problem that the word file is corrupt when zipped using FZIP in actionscript 3 but works fine when you ZIP the files after extracting your corrupt file.
Created an editable flex grid which exposes a method called getGridData() to javascript. I am using the JSON.encode() method of the [url]....library to convert the grid object's dataProvider into JSON before returning it.
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getGridData", getGridData); public function getGridData():String {[code].....
However, when I sort a column in the user interface, the encode method is failing throwing the following error
Property usingCustomCompareFunction not found on mx.collections.SortField and there is no default value.
I'm working on a Flash AS2 application that needs to post JSON data to a web service.In previous projects, I've used LoadVars.send() or LoadVars.sendAndLoad() successfully to manage this:
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); send_lv.data = JSON.stringify({some json object}); var response_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); response_lv.onData = function(rawdata) {
[code]....
In somepage.php, I can grab that JSON data using $_POST['data'].However, on this project, the developer of the web service requires the JSON content to be the BODY of the request (i.e., not a name/value pair). Is this possible with LoadVars?
I have a pure ActionScript 3 problem, but the simplified test case I've prepared is in Flex 4 for better visibility (the source code is below): Since Flash Player 11 / AIR 3 support JSON natively, I've decided to move a multiplayer game, which used XML for communicating with server, to JSON. But I have a frustrating problem, that given two Objects like
I have to work with webservices in Actionscript. I found the following code that allows me to use JSON URLs that implement only the GET method. However, it doesn't work for POST methods (doesn't even enter the "onComplete" method). How can i "POST" JSON data using Actionscript 3.0?
I was wondering if someone could explain or point me in the direction of how to implement an API that uses JSON in ActionScript 3.0. What I specifically want to know is how would I grab specific information. The following is how I do it in XML but I don't know how I would do something similar in JSON as in getting the equivalent of an XML tag. For example with the twitter API I'd like to grab the text [URL]
I'm trying to send array of data from Flash to PHP to sending e-mail. I'd like to do that because I must change the php page everytime my form site changes because of client's choice.[cod]e...
I'm new in JSON, but now I need to use JSON for my Flash ActionScript 3.0. So I found one lib for JSON and I have seen the terms Deserialize & Serialize what does that means.
api_result = '{"response":[{"uid":1969258,"first_name":"Walle","last_name":"Woo"}]}'; var myobj:Object = JSON.decode(api_result); So, how I can get uid, first_name and last_name from "response" array?
I'm trying to pull data into flash using JSON but i keep getting this error
JSONParseError: Unexpected < encountered at com.adobe.serialization.json::JSONTokenizer/parseError() at com.adobe.serialization.json::JSONTokenizer/getNextToken()
What I want to do is make a get request to this URL: [url]... which should return some JSON and then parse out certain information from it.
How would I go about doing this in Actionscript 3? I'm more concerned with figuring out how to get the data to feed to a JSON parser rather than parsing the JSON, since there seem to be plenty of questions about parsing JSON. The reason I want to do this in AS3 is that I have a 3D flash visualization set up and I want to get this data, parse out the relevant bits, and then display the parsed bits in the visualization.
What is the best way to pass JSON to and from a Flash movie?Currently to communicate between javascript and Flash :I'm using 'flashvars' to pass data to the flash movie when it initially loads I'm using 'ExternalInterface' at runtime to transfer single values, such as booleans at runtime I want to move to the next level and do this with JSON now.
Initially I just want the ability to send JSON to the flash movie on instantiation, but later i will need to send data back and forth.I just want to do it right first time and avoid any compatibility or 'gotcha' issues if there are any. i dont even know if i can pass a whole object to Flash, or if i need to serialize it as a raw JSON string.
Is there some library for flex, that will let me: define properties to fully exclude from serialization define classes to serialize without the property names (as if they were an array)
Although iPhone support JSON natively, AMF is a binary protocol and it supposes to use much less bandwidth. Do you think using AMF is a good idea?Just found this AMF library in cocoa (Objective-C):Here's the famous benchmark that shows AMF is smaller and faster than JSON + gzip in Flex:
I've flash app and i've static data (like ~18.0KB) for it which aren't changed often so I was wondering how to better get them. The static data may be in XML or JSON. One of my ideas was to put the static data in .js file within a function which would return them in JSON list and the other one was to return them in XML (as I like to work with XML more in Flash) somehow. But I'm not sure if it possible to put XML stuff in JS file to return them when function is called.. Or is XML pages also cached in browser and I will get the same performance result which I would get with cached JS files?
I know most people hate 100% flash-based websites, but I was recently forced to use flash for a college assignment. After creating a fully-featured ria in less than 2 weeks with every feature I could imagine, i've regrettably fallen in love with this beast (which I previously refused to touch with a stick) due to the power of AS3 and the ability to sprinkle it everywhere :-
I now want to port a commercial desktop application of mine (which has been largely unsuccesful) to the web and feel flash/flex is an excellent candidate. While creating a html/css/js version would be ideal (working browser shortcuts, for a start), i'm certain it'll take a year to create in cross-browser html/css/js what would take just ~3 months in flash. Obviously as the (paid) desktop product was unsuccessful, i'd want to minimize the risk/investment in the (free) web application.
I plan on using JSON for web services, so it shouldn't be a huge pita to port in the future.Is this a good strategy for launching a web app you're not yet 100% committed to? Or will the fact i'm using flash doom me from the start? Has anybody else done this? If so, how did your userbase respond to the 100% usage of flash, and did you get around to porting it to standard web technologies?
I am new to action script 3.0. o understand how can I load data with URLLoader.So, I have an aplication like:
var PATH:String = "http://www.somesite.com/myFirstPage.php?a=10&b=20"; var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(PATH); var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
