Adobe Community: Message List - Concatenate a loaded JSON URL

Re: Concatenate a loaded JSON URL

Thanks vivekuma,

Close! There were a couple of extra ' in your string. Also the correction on the click event didn't work. The click on the entire symbol as per my original block of code did. Just the sym.getSymbol("taboption1").click(function(){

The final syntax that worked at getting the data object from the JSON was as follows. The only difference was I removed the ''s inside the " that were in your text.

window.open(""+data[0].thelink+"", "_parent");

Thanks so much for your help! Much appreciated.

I think for the click event you might want to use:

sym.getSymbol("taboption1").getSymbolElement().bind("click",function() {

I assume you have included the jQuery already.

Syntax for window.open is wrong, it should be like this:

window.open("'"+data[0].thelink+"''", "_parent");

and while adding click event, you should do like like:

sym.getSymbol("taboption1").getSymbolElement().click(function(){

hth,

My syntax appears to be off, but I cant tell where?

window.open("('"+data[0].thelink+"')", "_parent")});

The URL is in a JSON file that's being loaded as the JSON variable thelink

Heres the full block.

$.getJSON(myjson, function(data){

{

var s1 = sym.getSymbol("taboption1");

s1.getSymbol("holder").$("placehere").css({"background-image":"url('"+data[0].image+"')"} );

s1.$("thename").html(data[0].thename);

//start mouse events//

sym.getSymbol("taboption1").click(function(){

window.open("('"+data[0].thelink+"')", "_parent")});

}

});

If you have a JSON file that's being loaded (no problems there), and one of the JSON variables is named "thelink" with a value of "http://www.somewebsite.com"

How would you concatenate that in Animate. Although the following syntax gave me back no error, it didn't work on a click.

$.getJSON(myjson, function(data){

{

sym.getSymbol("taboption2").click(function(){

window.open((data[0].thelink), "_parent");})

}

});
