Re: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars array.length problem

Hello :)

for me your method is not good :)

Use JSON or Eden format in your external text file.

Example JSON = Javascript Object Notation ( http://json.org/ )

JSON is better to parse Array, Object, String, Boolean, Number ...

You can use JSON with my openSource framework :
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/


Serialize (ActionScript to String ) :

import vegas.string.JSON ;

var a:Array = [2, true, "coucou"] ;
var o:Object = { prop1 : 1 , prop2 : 2 } ;
var s:String = "hello world" ;
var n:Number = 4 ;
var b:Boolean = true ;

trace("* a : " + JSON.serialize( a ) )  ;     
trace("* o : " + JSON.serialize( o ) )  ;
trace("* s : " + JSON.serialize( s ) )  ;
trace("* n : " + JSON.serialize( n ) )  ;
trace("* b : " + JSON.serialize( b ) )  ;

Deserialize (String to ActionScript )

import vegas.string.JSON ;

var source:String = '[ { "prop1" : 0xFF0000 , "prop2":2,
"prop3":"hello", "prop4":true} , 2, true, 3, [3, 2] ]' ;

var o = JSON.deserialize(source) ;
var l:Number = o.length ;
for (var i:Number = 0 ; i<l ; i++)
{
    trace("> " + i + " : " + o[i] + " -> typeof :: " + typeof(o[i])) ;
    if (typeof(o[i]) == "object")
    {
         for (var each:String in o[i])
         {
             trace("    > " + each + " : " + o[i][each] + " :: " +
typeof(o[i][each]) ) ;
         }
    }
}


If your string representation contains an error :

import vegas.string.JSON ;
import vegas.string.errors.JSONError ;

var source:String = "[3, 2," ;
try
{
   var o = JSON.deserialize(source) ;
}
catch(e:JSONError)
{
   trace( e.toString()) ; // output: [JSONError] Bad Array, at:6 in "[3, 2,"
}


Now.. with a LoadVars :

import vegas.string.JSON ;

var result ;

var loader = new LoadVars() ;
loader.onData = function ( source:String )
{
    result = JSON.deserialize(source) ;
    trace(result) ;
}
loader.load("data.txt") ;

In your external data.txt you can write an array with the Javascript
notation :

[ 1 , 2 , true, "hello world" , { "prop1" : "value1", "prop2" : "value2" } ,
0xFF0000 ]

To install my framework you can read this page :

More easy... more speed :)

EKA+ :)

Thanks sebastian,

I had tried something like:

menuLoadVars.onLoad = function(){
var my = menuLoadVars.split("\r");
        for (var i = 0; i<my.length; i++) {

    trace(my[i])
                         }
}

No joy, perhaps I am using the wrong syntax?
