Question

Here is the code I am using to create poll data from a json framework. However every time I launch the app it crashes. Any Advice?

-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
    NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    self.responseData = nil;

    NSArray *latestEvent = [(NSDictionary*)[responseString JSONValue] objectForKey:@"Events"];
    [responseString release];

    //Choose event
    NSDictionary *flashMob = [latestEvent objectAtIndex:0];

    //Fetch the Data
    NSString *name = [flashMob objectForKey:@"event"];
    NSDate *eDate = [flashMob objectForKey:@"date"];
    NSString *location = [flashMob objectForKey:@"location"];
    NSString *danceVid = [flashMob objectForKey:@"dancevideo"];

    //Set the text to the label
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Next Flash Mob is: %@, on %@, near %@, with Dance: %@", name, eDate, location, danceVid];

}

And the Json is:

{ "Events":[{"id":0001,"event":"Party Rock Anthem Flash Mob","date":"12/18/2011",
"dancevideo":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP2ddTuMKIg","Location":"Flatirons Crossing,       Broomfield, CO"}]
}

Edit I am also including the viewDidLoad method unless the call might be failing.

 - (void)viewDidLoad
    {
        [super viewDidLoad];

        NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.corliosity.com/denverflash.json"]];
        [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
        responseData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
    }

Try this code below

-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
    // try this code here
    NSDictionary *JSONDictionary = [[[[SBJsonParser alloc] init] autorelease] objectWithData:responseData];
    [self.responseData release] // only if is retained by your class.
    self.resposeDate = nil;

    NSArray *latestEvent = [JSONDictionary valueForKey:@"Events"];
    [responseString release];

    //Choose event
    NSDictionary *flashMob = [latestEvent objectAtIndex:0];

    //Fetch the Data
    NSString *name = [flashMob objectForKey:@"event"];
    NSDate *eDate = [flashMob objectForKey:@"date"];
    NSString *location = [flashMob objectForKey:@"location"];
    NSString *danceVid = [flashMob objectForKey:@"dancevideo"];

    //Set the text to the label
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Next Flash Mob is: %@, on %@, near %@, with Dance: %@", name, eDate, location, danceVid];
}

Now you should see Events key inside JSONDictionary, the corresponding object should be an array of dictionary.
Process it in the way you prefer.
