  • Trying to run a Javascript function I have added into the body of the index.html to return a JSON string I can add into an Array inside of Construct2.

    [attachment=0:3l5z7udg][/attachment:3l5z7udg]

    Here is the javascript I add in the body of index.html:

    <script type="text/javascript">
		function gameJSON()
		{
			var myGameJSON =  <cfoutput>#myJsonVar#</cfoutput>;
			return myGameJSON;
		}
	</script>
[/code:3l5z7udg]

This code functions in the browser console and returns a correct JSON to the browser console. I also know it gets called in construct2 because I have added an alert and I have am seeing the alert.

I have looked at the input from Browser.ExecJS("gameJSON();") by appending it to a text string and the value is just = "0".

Questions:
1. Can I use Browser.ExecJS to request a JSON string and then use that to load to my "ArrayInfo"?
2. Is there a better method to reference a Javascript function on index.html accessed via the Browser object and get the JSON inside construct2?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Trying to set up a way to get a Javascript function I add to the page where my construct2 game is to run and return a JSON string which can be used by Construct2 to create an array.

    I have a JSON string built. and I define that array in javascript and I am able to return the JSON using the console and asking for it using something like "window.myJSON();"

    I have been trying to get this JSON into construct2 using:

    ArrayJSON | Load from JSON string BROWSER.ExecJS("window.myJSON();")

    But no luck. Need help with what to do so I can get this JSON from the browser. Any ideas?

    Currently; I export the HTML5 code and then using Notepad++ add the <Script ... into the header of the index.html page and run the game on my server.
