How can i send an array from php to as3 and show as list

Question

I am building an air app in flash cs6 using as3. My database is on a web server and I use php to connect to my app, I need to send an array from php to as3 and populate it in a list in my app, I just need to know how to send and receive an array so I can print it in my app thanks

Send an array from PHP to as3? Do you mean have as3 contact the PHP server? For starters have you looked at URLRequest and JSON.parse? — Dave Chen

Try this:

Actionscript 3

import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;

var urlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://example.com/json.php"));
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, urlLoaderCompleteHandler);

function urlLoaderCompleteHandler(e:Event):void {
    var json:Object=JSON.parse(urlLoader.data);
}

Now within urlLoaderCompleteHandler you can handle json as an object.

PHP

<?php
    $data=array("test"=>"Hello World!");
    header('Content-type: application/json');
    echo json_encode($data);
?>

Not quite sure why you deleted this - to me it looks better than the other answer here.

@Flexo Tidying up some old answers, it didn't look like it was going to help anyone so I deleted it.

Use JSON

on the AS3 side you can find docs here

on the php side use json_encode and json_decode

Note that JSON is only available if you're targeting Flash Player 11+. For earlier versions, you can download a library here.
