Getting information from php file

[oliversen]

The output of my php file looks like this:

[{"id":2,"name":"NRK MP3","url":"http:\/\/lyd.nrk.no\/nrk_radio_mp3_mp3_m","country_id":37},{"id":72,"name":"Radio Loland","url":"http:\/\/stream.radiololand.no:5000\/loland128","country_id":37}]

What i want to accomplish is to get that information, I need the url, the country id, the name, and the id. But I get this error:

Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.

at Error$/throwError()

at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()

at flash.net::URLVariables()

at DatabaseTest_fla::MainTimeline/onCompleteHandler()[DatabaseTest_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:28]

at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()

at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

If I change my php file to this. It works

<?php

   echo "values=8";

?>

My As3 code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.net.URLLoader;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.net.URLVariables;

import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;

import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;

import flash.events.Event;

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("mydomain.com/something.php");

myLoader.load(myRequest);

myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onCompleteHandler);

var myValue: String;

function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void{

          var myvariable: URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);

         myValue = myvariable.values;

                  trace(myValue);

}

You must use JSON class as it's a JSON structure.

JSON - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

and use JSON.parse(e.target.data)

Thank you for replying Robert,

I have tried a little back and forth now.

This is my code:

var json:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var parsedJSONData:Object;

   json = new URLLoader();

   json.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseJSON);

   json.load(new URLRequest("http://blogglista.no/TESTESTDBDBDBDBD/check_media.php"));

   trace("Loading JSON file...");

function parseJSON(evt:Event):void {

   trace("JSON file loaded successfully!");

   trace("Parsing JSON...");

   trace("RESULTS:");

   parsedJSONData = JSON.parse(json.data)

  // var jsonArray:Array = (json.data);

   trace("id: " + parsedJSONData.Id);

}

This is what my Output looks like:

Loading JSON file...

JSON file loaded successfully!

Parsing JSON...

RESULTS:

id: undefined

Test Movie terminated.

Why is my "id" undefined?

My inital goal is to make a for loop for all my id's

Thank you

[Robert Mc Dowell]

json.data must be replaced with evt.target.data

[oliversen]

Hmm, tried both evt.target.data, event.target.data, and e.target.data.

Same result unfortunately:

id: undefined

[Robert Mc Dowell · Accepted solution]

add json.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

and put back json.data to parse;

trace(json.data);

if it's still undefined so the problem comes from your php script or security sandbox network

you should test on your same domain server

[oliversen]

You are right, I changed it to:

{ "ID1000": { "ident": "00001", "navn": "Costa Del Mar - Chillout", "stream": "http://stream.cdm-chillout.com:8020/stream-mp3-Chill", "by": "Ibiza", "land": "Spain", "sjanger": "Chillout" }, "ID2000": { "ident": "00000", "navn": "Bandit Rock Stockholm", "stream": "http://fm02-icecast.mtg-r.net/fm02_mp3?platform=web", "by": "Stockholm", "land": "Sweden", "sjanger": "Rock" }, "ID3000": { "ident": "00002", "navn": "Lounge FM - Terrace", "stream": "http://cast.loungefm.com.ua/terrace128?1372841071202.mp3", "by": "Kiev", "land": "Ukraine", "sjanger": "Chillout" } }

And it worked, thank you! Lifesaver.

I have another question for you, it might be for another thread. But here it is:

I want to do a for loop that takes ID1000 and ID2000 and ID3000 and so forth, and I want their stream. I have tried a few different ways, but nothing works.

var i=1;

var noe:String=("parsedJSONData"+"."+"ID"+i+"000"+"."+"ident");

//getDefinitionByName(noe) as Class;

//var noeee:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

//noeee.name= noe;

//getDefinitionByName(noeee) as Class;

trace(noe);

trace("id:" + noe);

trace("id:" + parsedJSONData.ID1000.ident);

//trace("id:" + eval(noe));

var nnoe:String = "ID"+1000;

parsedJSONData.ID1000.ident

id:parsedJSONData.ID1000.ident

id:00001

ID1000

[Robert Mc Dowell]

for(var each:String in parsedJSONData){

     trace(parsedJSONData[each].whateverYouWant)

}
