convert class to object actionscript 3 - json

Question

I`m tring to covert class to json.
The class is:
package com.globalData{
public class userSite {
private var uID:int,uName:String,uSocket:int,uZone:int,uRoom:int;
public function user(ID:int,Name:String,ZoneID:int,RoomID:int,socketID:int){
uID = ID;
uName = Name;
uSocket = socketID;
uZone = ZoneID;
uRoom = RoomID;
}
public function getName():String{
return uName;
}
public function getID():int{
return uID;
}
public function getZoneID():int{
return uZone;
}
public function getRoomID():int{
return uRoom;
}
public function getSocket():int{
return uSocket;
}
}
}
Im tryed to do:
json(Object(roomVar));
But its not work (JSOn is function on the main class)
Im need to convert the class to json and send the json -> Socket
How can i do it?

There are a few issues with your code above:
It doesn't appear as though your userSite class has a constructor. Instead, you've opted to have a user function that takes in all of the initialization arguments
You're using functions where you should probably be using accessor methods, sometimes called a getter.
public function getName():String { return uName;} would become public function get name():String { return uName;}
Instead of calling getName(), you would access name as a property: instance.name
You're attempting to pass an Object to the JSON.decode method, this method expects a String. Something like "{ 'a':1, 'b':[1,2,3] }" would be an acceptable parameter. This would return an object with two properties a and b, a would contain the value 1, and b would contain an array with the elements 1, 2, and 3. What you are looking for is actually the JSON.encode method which accepts an Object and converts it to a String (which can be parsed as JSON).
I suggest you convert all of your getXYZ() functions to accessors, this will allow an instance of that class to be read as a collection of properties, which will in turn allow the JSON.encode function to create a JSON string object from it:
package com.globalData
{
public class UserSite {
private var uID:int,uName:String,uSocket:int,uZone:int,uRoom:int;
public function UserSite(ID:int,Name:String,ZoneID:int,RoomID:int,socketID:int):void{
uID = ID;
uName = Name;
uSocket = socketID;
uZone = ZoneID;
uRoom = RoomID;
}
public function get name():String{
return uName;
}
public function get ID():int{
return uID;
}
public function get zoneID():int{
return uZone;
}
public function get roomID():int{
return uRoom;
}
public function get socket():int{
return uSocket;
}
}
}
Usage:
var roomVar:UserSite = new UserSite(1, 'Name', 2, 3, 4);
trace(JSON.encode(roomVar as Object));
Output:
{"ID":1,"name":"Name","socket":4,"roomID":3,"zoneID":2}
