I'm trying to access a nested json array
var jsonResponse:Object = JSON.decode(response);
var foo:Object = JSON.decode(jsonResponse.nested);
var bar:Array = foo as Array;
When i inspect foo - its an object with about 50 children objects.I can read the properties of the children objects. However, when i cast foo as an Array it comes back null.I'd prefer to not iterate over each object and push it into an array.
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've got a nested array containing a series of 2 element arrays containing an object name, and text related to that object.I've set it up like this:public var names:Array = [["instance name 1", "text for first object"],["instance name 2", "text for second object"], ...]];What I'm trying to do is to have the text related to the object appear in a text box when the object is moved.This is all set up within a class containing code for the drag and drop functions.If I set the text box to show a specific element, such as:MovieClip(parent).text_box.text= names[2][1];it works fine. But I can't get it to create the value for the first bracket from the this.name attribute.I had it working for 2 arrays - one with the name and another with the text where the code was;MovieClip(parent).text_box.text= texts[names.indexOf(this.name)]; (arrays named 'names' and 'texts', text box named 'text_box')I'm hoping there's something similar that I can do for the nested array, but everything I try gives me the #1010 error - term undefined.Is there an easy way to sort this out - or am I better sticking with the 2 array version?
View 6 Repliesi am creating an object like this:
var myObj:Object = new Object();
myObj["someProperty"] = {
anotherProperty: "someValue",
whateverProperty: "anotherValue"
}
now i want to send it to a web server (rails):
var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
service.url = "http://server.com/some/path/entry.json";
service.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
service.send( myObj );
the problem is that the server receives the json like this:
{"someProperty"=>"[object Object]"}
is this a problem with HTTPService? should i use the good old loader/urlrequest and serialize myself? by the way, serializing and then passing the string doesn't work, webserver receives empty request as GET.but i kinda want to use the httpservice class though...
How do I pass flash array to javascript function without using json?
View 3 RepliesI'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`m little stuck here, pretty simple solving problem I believe.
I`m trying to use this JSON library for my project.[code]...
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 have an application created in Flash Builder 4 that loads SWFs of flash files and I want to access movie clips within these flash files. I can access top level movie clips using:
var assetName:String = "example_mc";
this._graphics[assetName].addChild(this._customText);
However when I want to access nested movie clips I am unsuccessful, I have tried:
var assetName:String = "example_mc";
var assetName2:String = "example2_mc";
this._graphics[assetName][assetName2].addChild(this._customText);
and I have tried:
MovieClip(DisplayObjectContainer(this._graphics.getChildByName(assetName)).getChildByName(assetName2)).addChild(this._customText);
In addition I tried variants of the square brackets and "getChildByName" but still no success.All moviclips are instantiated in frame 1 of the Flash files?
Edit :I forgot to tweak my error handling so an error would be shown, plus all my tests where not showing text, late afternoon on a Mon is not my brightest hour! ;) I worked it out in the end, the solution was either (as above):
MovieClip(DisplayObjectContainer(this._graphics.getChildByName(assetName)).getChildByName(assetName2)).addChild(this._customText);
Or:
MovieClip(DisplayObjectContainer(this._graphics.getChildByName(assetName))[assetName2]).addChild(this._customText);

This is nested inside another for loop which creates an array of the movieClip rows. Problem I see them drawn and positioned correctly on the stage but I cant reference any other than the top row in order to change the alpha for example.
I have the following JAX-RS service.[code]...
The JAX-RS service receives the request and respond successfully with some dummy response, but I have no access to the request.data field.
How do I access the data of the request message (which is {"type":"get_configuration","data":"some data"} in this particular example)? I think that I'm supposed to add some parameters to the handleMessage method like
public SomeResponse handleMessage(Object message) {...
but this does not work at all. The request got 415 response.
what the differences or similarities are between these and if there is some actionscript tool to convert back and forth between these types.
the data i'm getting is coming in from mysql in the form of name,job
joe, doctor
moe, lawyer
etc...
I need to convert this to dataProvider and then also to Json for some graphing program that can read json or xml.
How would I go about sorting an array of nested arrays, based on the contents of one of the nested arrays elements?

I have the following problem: I have this multi-level array (nested array) which contains two rows of bitmapData. Row 1:360 rotated bitmapData objects; row 2: 360 rotated and colored bitmapData objects.
I try to access row 2 but that doesn't work. There are some mysterious error messages coming up ("TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@36d7e9e9 to flash.display.BitmapData. at BasicBlitArrayObject/updateFrame()").
this function rotates and colors bitmapData; the rotated bitmapData is thrown into an array and the colored bitmapData is thrown into another array; a third array is used as a level array for nesting the other two arrays inside of it
Code:
public function createColoredRotationBlitArrayFromBD(sourceBitmapData:BitmapData, inc:int, offset:int = 0, color:Number = 1, $alpha:Number = 1):Array
