This is supposed to work on Action script 3 for a mobile app where i need a category list that will take me to a product list and the a product.... but i'm working first on the category list where the values are read from JSON, i already have a getCategory.php document where my json was returned correctly..... but when i run the swf it says error....

Answer 1

To me it looks like filePath = "getCategories.php"; is your problem.
When you run locally or in your dev environment it will look for that php page in the same directory that the SWF is in which will probably work fine for you. But when you publish to a phone that is no longer the location of the php page.
As such you will probably get the IO error since the server does not exist.
[EDIT]
Well now that you finally posted the error I can see what your issue is.
type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event
Is stating that it can not find the Event class.
Looking at your code you are not importing it either.
The closest you come to it is the MouseEvent.
So instead of just importing the MouseEvent try this.
import flash.events.*;
