Question

As a result of a HTTP request I’ve got JSON data in the URLLoader object. I need to put the JSON in a formatted way inside a TextField.

How can I accomplish that this:

[{"id":"barrrrrr","client":"foo"}]

looks like this:

[
   {
      "id":"barrrrrr",
      "client":"foo"
   }
]

inside the textfield?

Cheers.

Use the native JSON object in flash player 11+

var stringJSON:String = loader.data as String;
var jsonData:Object = JSON.parse(stringJSON);
textField.text = JSON.stringify(jsonData,null,4);
