JSON parsing issue. [object Object]

[oliversen]

Hey

I want to parse this information. it is php.

[{"KategoriID":1,"KategoriNavn":"4. Dagligvare"},{"KategoriID":2,"KategoriNavn":"1. Bygg og jernvare"},{"KategoriID":3,"KategoriNavn":"3. Sport"},{"KategoriID":4,"KategoriNavn":"5. Hjem og interi\u00f8r"},{"KategoriID":6,"KategoriNavn":"2. Elektronikk"},{"KategoriID":7,"KategoriNavn":"6. Kl\u00e6r og mote"},{"KategoriID":9,"KategoriNavn":"8. Lek & morro"},{"KategoriID":10,"KategoriNavn":"7. Helse"}]

This is my AS3 Code:

var json:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var parsedJSONData:Object;
   json = new URLLoader();
   json.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseJSON);
   json.load(new URLRequest("http://blogglista.no/Tilbudsappen/StoreCategories.php"));
   trace("Loading JSON file...");
   var bgmList=new Vector.<String>();
function parseJSON(evt:Event):void {
parsedJSONData = JSON.parse(json.data)
//trace(parsedJSONData.streams[0])
trace("parsed: " + parsedJSONData);
}

What I get when i trace:

parsed: [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object].

I have tried several ways to get what the objects really are. But I want to be able to get the KategoriID and KategoriNavn. I have several php files that looks like this. How do I write it?

Thank you!

[Robert Mc Dowell]

your trace should be:

trace("parsed: "+parsedJSONData.toString());

or

for(var each:String in parsedJSONData){

     trace(each+" = "+parsedJSONData[each]);

}

Hmm

This is what Im getting with thoose traces.

parsed: [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

0 = [object Object]

1 = [object Object]

2 = [object Object]

3 = [object Object]

4 = [object Object]

5 = [object Object]

for(var each:String in parsedJSONData){

     for(var each2:String in parsedJSONData[each]){

          trace(each2+" = "+parsedJSONData[each][each2]);

     }

}

Thank you Robert!!! Works perfect. Now I am going to import 10 URLs at once with a for loop. But what happens is that the foor loop is done before the Event.COMPLETE is fired. Could you point me in the right direction of how I could make the for loop "wait"? Thanks!

for(var i=1;i<antallKategorier;i++){

var json1:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var parsedJSONData1:Object;

json1 = new URLLoader();

json1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseJSON);

var jsonNumber=("http://blogglista.no/Tilbudsappen/Category"+i+".php");

json1.load(new URLRequest(jsonNumber));

trace(jsonNumber);

function parseJSON(evt:Event):void {

//trace("JSON file loaded successfully!");

//trace("Parsing JSON...");

//trace("RESULTS:");

i++;

parsedJSONData1 = JSON.parse(json.data);

for(var each:String in parsedJSONData1){

     for(var each2:String in parsedJSONData1[each]){

          //trace(each2+" = "+parsedJSONData[each][each2]);

trace(each2);

if(each2=="ButikkURL"){trace(parsedJSONData1[each][each2]);

}

}

}

}

}

How it can be fired before if you run parseJSON() function especially at Event.COMPLETE???

also it's safe to urlencode your URL in JSON to avoid any strange result

[oliversen]

Well, my intention is to run the for loop, parse the data from the 10 URLs, put it into an array.

What happens now is that it finishes the loop (i=1 to i=10) before it parses for i=1. Which means I miss 9/10 of the parsing. and basically 9/10ths of my array aswell.

If I managed to explain my intention.

[Robert Mc Dowell]

another way:

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(apiURL));
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event) {
   var json:Object = JSON.decode(e.target.data);

   //etc...
});

[oliversen]

Yeah, the parsing works very good.

I can load the 10 URLs writing the code 10 times. Which I will do if I dont find another way. What I want to do is run this for loop, which parses data from the 10 URLs, and pushes them into my array. Instead of having to write urlLoader1-10, json1-10 and so forth.

for (var i = 1; i < antallKategorier; i++) //FYI: antallKategorier==10

{

     var json1: URLLoader = new URLLoader();

     var parsedJSONData1: Object;

     json1 = new URLLoader();

     json1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseJSON); //     The problem is that this line runs after my for loop is done, while // I want it to run 10 times.

     var jsonNumber = ("http://blogglista.no/Tilbudsappen/Category" + i + ".php");

     json1.load(new URLRequest(jsonNumber));

          function parseJSON(evt: Event): void {

               parsedJSONData1 = JSON.parse(json.data);

               for (var each: String in parsedJSONData1) {

                     for (var each2: String in parsedJSONData1[each]) {

                    //trace(each2+" = "+parsedJSONData[each][each2]);

                    trace(each2);

                    if (each2 == "ButikkURL") {

                    trace(parsedJSONData1[each][each2]);

                    }

               }

          }

     }

}

ha ok you have 10 url to grab the json data right?

var nbURL:uint = 1;

jsonGrabAll(urlArray[nbURL]);

private function jsonGrabAll(url):void{

     try{

          // your urlloader + json logic

     }catch(event:*){

          trace("something wrong");

     }

}

private function parseJSON(evt:Event):void{

     // parse logic

          if(everything == "ok"){

               nbURL += 1;

               if(nbURL < 11){

                    jsonGrabAll(urlArray[nbURL]);

               }else{

                    nbURL = 1;

               }

          }

}
