How do I use a JSON API in Flash ActionScript 3.0
-----------XML Example:
        //create a new XML object with the XML
        xml = new XML(e.target.data);

        //This gives us an XMLList (an array) of <item> tags
        var all_items:XMLList = xml.channel.item;

        //loop through the <item> tags
        for (var i:uint = 0; i < all_items.length(); i++)
        {
            //get contents of title tag
            var titleText:String = all_items[i].title.text();

            //get contents of description tag
            var descriptionText:String = all_items[i].description.text();

            //get contents of link tag
            var linkText:String = all_items[i].link.text();

            //get contents of pubDate tag
            var dateText:String = all_items[i].pubDate.text();
        }

json = JSON.decode(e.target.data);

        trace("json=" + json);
    }

var response:Object = JSON.decode(e.target.data);
