AS3 and JSON : error 1061
actionscript-3, json
Solution
`JSON.parse` and `JSON.stringfy` are the methods you are looking for in Flash Player 11+.
`JSON.encode` and `JSON.decode` were part of the Adobe AS3 lib but since the Flash Player has a native JSON parser now you don't need that class.
Problem
I spent hours around a possibly stupid problem relative to JSON encoding in FLASH. I Try to do something very simple : I make an object and I want it to be serialized in JSON. But Flash tells me ``` > 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method encode through a reference with static type Class. ``` Here is my code. It's a copy of the tutorial here. Something is wrong in it (not in the tutorial I guess, in my code) but I can't figure out what is can be : ``` import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON; var member1:Object = new Object(); member1.firstName = "John" member1.lastName = "Parker" member1.age = "32" member1.country = "Canada" member1.job = "Programmer" var member2:Object = new Object(); member2.firstName = "Peter" member2.lastName = "Anderson" member2.age = "30" member2.country = "USA" member2.job = "System administrator" var myData:Object = {staff:[member1, member2]}; var myJson:String = JSON.encode(myData); trace(myJson); ``` At the line var myJson:String = JSON.encode(myData); flash generate the error mentioned above. Let me precise that the class JSON is well where it has to be (my_project/com/adobe/serialization/json/JSON.as ) and that I can find the encode static method in it. Can someone tell me where my mistake(s) is or are ? Thank you.
