Missing something using dictionary object (see image)

I was doing some simple tests with the dictionary object and I immediately ran into a snag. (See image below.) When I click the button on my form the text string changes to "0". What am I doing wrong?

NOTE: I included a picture of the debugger. The dictionary object has the correct data, I just can't seem to retrieve it using the key value "Name".

Can you log the JSON string that you receive to the console ? Without this it's impossible to know what the problem is.

Thank you for the reply, Zed!

Here is the JSON string from Ajax.LastData:

{
	"c2dictionary": true,
	"data": {
		"\"Name\"": "\"John\"",
		"\"Age\"": 32,
		"\"last_played\"": 0,
		"\"puzzles_lost\"": 0
	}
}[/code:zs15n2r5]

I created the json file within Construct 3. I right clicked on the "Files" button and chose "New" & "Dictionary". Then I just entered some values:

"Name" = "John"
"Age" = 32
"last_played" = 0
"puzzles_lost" = 0

I just did the same test on my end and it works just fine. I get "John" when I do Dictionary.Get("Name").

Try this: forget about the form for now, try to directly print Dictionary.Get("Name") to the console after loading the dictionary.

Post a CAPX.

As I mentioned, I built my dictionary test using Construct 3. (But the file is small enough for people with the FREE version to view.)

UPDATE:

I just tried adding keys to my dictionary manually, and that worked as intended. Here's the code:

So I seem to be having an issue when I use Construct 3 to generate my dictionary file. I'll put up a new post in the Construct 3 area.

Update: blackhornet provided the solution to my problem! When I entered the data in the JSON file (using Construct 3 I was able to type values into a table) I was using quotation marks for strings. Apparently, this isn't necessary. When I removed them everything worked correctly.

In case anyone else runs into this issue in the future I made a quick illustration:

If this is for C3, why post in the C2 section?

If a mistake, just tag any mod and ask them to move the thread.

Yeah, sorry about that. I initially posted in the C2 section because more people seem to read that section. When I realized my problem was specific to C3 I posted again there, then found out it was too late for me to delete this thread. Can you do that for me? Thanks!
