  • Hi,

    I'm pretty sure this is a bug.

    First, in my game, I'm using the dictionary object to handle text. Everything is working fine whitin the game, but when I try to download the .json file from the dictionary, I get this:

    This is the code:

    I've also tried to replicate the error on a new project, this is what happens:

    And here's the code:

    So maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that the dictionary value can't into spacing, but ONLY when I try to download the .json file. In-game everything works, spaces and everything:

    Thanks.

  • I can reproduce this too. This is the code:

    <img src="http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/2429/jsonbug.png" border="0">

    And this is the resulting JSON data:

    {"c2dictionary":true,"data":{"FirstName":"Al","LastName":"Bundy","Age":52,"AreaOfResidence":"Chicago,Illinois,UnitedStatesofAmerica","Occupation":"Shoesalesman"}}

    Both Chrome and Firefox generate the game .json file. Spaces are removed and placing an apostrophe anywhere truncates the apostrophe and everything following it. This also happens with array JSON data. The AsJSON expression seems to be working properly, though.

    If you need a .capx to look at, here it is.

  • It didn't even occur to me to test on another browser, so I forgot to mention, I tested it on Chrome.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Thanks, should be fixed in the next build. Try to always remember to test other browsers!
