Is it possible to access raw JS object properties in C2?

I've fetched the object from AirConsole message. The object ATM is hardcoded and looks like below

{ touch: 999 }[/code:34yoe00s]

I'm trying to fetch this property but can't really find the way. So I tried to convert it to string so I could parse it, but it's also not that easy. Does C2 have some security parsing before? Is it possible to access/strinfigy  JS object anyhow?

This is the latest thing I've tried, but it retuns 0;

If AirConsole.Message is "{ touch: 999 }" then you could do this the get the value of "touch"

Browser.ExecJS("var a="&AirConsole.Message&";a.touch")

I just described the object's body. But it's not a string. It's an object. That's the point...

EDIT: ah wait... right... I'll try that. Thanks

Meh this is frustrating...

When AC sends this

airconsole.message(AirConsole.SCREEN, {
            "message": "start"
          });[/code:16awribh]

I can easily read the value ("start") just by reading [i]AirConsole.Message[/i] in C2.

But when AC sends this
[code:16awribh]
airconsole.message(AirConsole.SCREEN, {
            "message": {
              touch: 999
            }[/code:16awribh]

... then [i]AirConsole.Message[/i] returns "[object Object]", which is fine, but can't fetch the properties. 

[i]Browser.ExecJS("var a="&AirConsole.Message&"; a.touch")[/i] and all other ways I have tried always return "0".

Any other suggestions? I'm kinda out of ideas.... thanks

You'll probably want to make a plugin to do this, or at least modify the one you use. C2 only handles strings or numbers, so the expression as is wont do it.

Right... it handles only string or numbers... I don't really have time to study C2 plugin SDK now. I code controller manually so I figured out that the best way would be to always send just a text which will be simply C2 dictionary JSON.

Thanks for clarification R0J0hound
