Wow It's been a while, since I posted. Anyway Last time I looked(which is just minutes ago), I still can't find a way do have real "eval" functions in flash, correct me if I'm wrong. So I have a new project, its called JXN, short for JSON eXtended Notation. Its a parsing engine, that enhances the JSON engine's unmarshalling capabilities to understand function calls.

Ex. {
  "author":"rvillaver",
  "pseudoFunction":task([
   set("myVar",1234),
   set("testObj",create("Object")),
   set("testObj.testValue",
    add(
     get("myVar"),
     get("fooBar")
    )
   ),
   result(
    get("testObj.testValue")
   )
  ])
 }
To parse it:


JXN.installPlugin("",JXN.plugins.MacroPlugin);
var context = new Object();
context.fooBar = 10;
JXN.load("./test.jxn",context,{
 onResult:function(evt){
  var output = evt.result.pseudoFunction.run();
  //output evaluates to 1244
 }
});
Its now hosted in sourceforge, jxn.sourceforge.net. The first release is JXN for  Actionscript. It allows some minimal "macro" like scripting for flash. A small answer for Actionscript's lack of good eval functions. Read more on how to use and make your own plugins in the website. We would be releasing next a version for Javascript(although js does'nt really need it, but the custom plugin feature would be nice, so data can be reactant to context variables). Java port, C# port and others. I'm still waiting for my SVN on sourceforge to activate, so I can formally organize the source codes. But the release already has a copy of the fla, and all the source files needed for your perusal. This script is done in Flash 6 Class style to provide larger support, allowing maybe even Flash 5 to do the dynamic scripting.

Dear OSFlash.org admins, how do I enroll to be part of your project listing. So we can promote this project into the community. Currently its at version 0.7 mainly due to the amount I want to test it more. But features wise its good to go.  Just a note, I'm not changing the JSON format or making a new one, I'm just enhancing the engine and making a plugin framework to facilitate the parser in handling more features of its mother language.

Hope you guys like it.
