OK, I changed tack with this, as follows: *<fx:Declarations> <mx:HTTPService id="service" resultFormat="text" url="http://127.0.0.1:3001/blockchain" result="onJSONLoad(event)" /> </fx:Declarations>
private function creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void { service.send(); } private function onJSONLoad(event:ResultEvent):void { //get the raw JSON data and cast to String var rawData:String = String(event.result); trace("RAWDATA = " + rawData); } * Which returns the JSON data as a String -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
