Trying to load local json file with createjs

I'm trying to load animations from Adobe Animate and it works fine when loading from a web server. But when loading from a local folder, I get "Access denied". The offending line is

loader.loadFile({ src: "images/1170_atlas_.json", type: "spritesheet", id: "1170_atlas_" }, true);

I should be able to simply include the contents of the file in a variable on the page and load the data directly. But I'm having problems finding the createjs function I need to call to load the spritesheet.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Solution

  • You can not load JSON locally without doing some things like forcing Chrome to allow file access.

    You can also get around it using JSONP, which loads the content as JavaScript.

    If you want to manually load the contents, and embed your JSON in your page, you just have to make a new SpriteSheet manually. The EaselJS SpriteSheet docs have examples of this.

    Cheers.
