    The way your using .asjson wont work.

    When you try and load a text box with .asjson, the text box is looking for the text box format json. As you are trying to load a 'dictionary json format", the text box will not recognize it.

    If you want to insert raw dictionary data, then go textbox.settext > "" & dictionary.asjson.

    If you want to get sequential values from the dictionary, then i highly suggest using an array.

    But it can be done with dictionary.

    One way is to use numbered keys, i.e. key: "0"="bob" key: "1" = "sam" etc etc.

    Now we create a for loop.

    For i = 0 to 9

    Textbox.appendtext "" & dictionary.get(system.loopindex("i") & "") & newline // Here we convert the numbered loopindex into a string so we can address the dictionary key to get the data.

    I hope this helps.
