Kind of. The value can have a space in front / behind it, but the name is not valid with a leading or trailing space:
some e.g. {"foo" : " some text "}; // OK {"foo" : 1234}; // OK - number type value {"foo" : [" some text "]} // OK - string in Array type value {" foo" : " some text "}; // BAD - leading space in var name {"foo " : " some text"}; // BAD - trailing space in var name Cheers, A On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 1:08 PM, mikek12003 <mike_k12...@yahoo.gr> wrote: > the flashvars as well as all other parameters neede for embedSWF come > from a JSON file, so before I try to display the SWF I must check the > format > P.S.
