Here is very simple example of importing a json file named "fruits.js". This example has the text for the imported file followed by the actionscript package coding...
// Content for js file named "fruits.js"…
{
"fruits":
[
{
"fruit":"Apple",
"fruitcolor":"Red"
},
{
"fruit":"Banana",
"fruitcolor":"Yellow"
},
{
"fruit":"Grapes",
"fruitcolor":"Purple"
}
]
}
// AS3 code to import and parse the file…
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
public class AddJson extends Sprite {
public var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
public function AddJson() {
//loader set-up
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("fruits.js");
loader.load(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, jsonLoaded);
}
public function jsonLoaded(event:Event):void {
var jsonContent:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
//json
var data:Object = JSON.parse(jsonContent.data);
trace(data.fruits.length);
trace("The first one is " + data.fruits[0].fruit + " : " + data.fruits[0].fruitcolor);
var secondFruit:String = data.fruits[1].fruit;
trace("secondFruit as string data: " + secondFruit)
}
}
}
