Why my flex 4.6 cannot recognize JSON.parse

I am using the following code to parse a JSON URL:

var result:Object = com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON.parse(event.result)

But it cannot recognize JSON.parse, I am using as3corelib.swc (9.3 version).

What is the issue? thanks.

Solution

  • There are two ways to parse JSON in Flex.

    One is to use as3corelib. In that case, you need to change your code to

    var result:Object = com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON.decode(event.result)

    The other way (if you're targeting Flash Player 11+) is to use the built-in JSON class (in the default package):

    var result:Object = JSON.parse(event.result)
