Highlighted TextExpand

private var _myObjArr:Array = new Array(); // array of objects
private var _stringAuthor:String;
private var _stringDate:String;
private var _stringText:String;

/**
		 * Success handler after requesting JSON data from server
		 * 
		 * @param event Event 
		 * @return void
		 */
		private function onSuccess(event:Event):void
		{
			var loader:URLLoader = event.target as URLLoader;
			var data:Object = null;
			
			try { // get the raw JSON data 				
				data = JSON.decode(loader.data);

} catch(e:Error) {
				trace("Error requesting document");
			}

loader.close();
			loader = null;
			
			if (data !=null)
			{

if (data.error)
				{
					trace(data.error);
	
				} else {
	 	// loop thru data	 
			for (var key:Object in data) {
									 
			 _stringAuthor = '' + data[key].author + '';
			 
			 _stringDate = '' + data[key].date + '';

_stringText = ' "' + data[key].text + '"';			 
		 
			 
			 // save Author, Date, Text to an object array _myObjArr
			 var obj:Object = new Object();
			 obj.Author = _stringAuthor;
			 obj.Date = _stringDate;
			 obj.Text = _stringText;
			 _myObjArr.push(obj);
	 				 					
			}

}
			}
			
		} // end onSuccess
		
// now that we got all our info saved, we can retrieve it later in other functions like:
			
			for(var i:uint = 0; i < _myObjArr.length; i++) {							
				_blogPost[i] = addBlogPosts();
				addChild(_blogPost[i]);
			}
			
// does this snippet help anyone?
