jquery ajax return: undefined

Question

I\'m sure you know this problem, I\'m still trying to solve it for few days. I\'ve tried lots of stuff but no one worked:

Here is the code

function l

Correctly stated that you can't really return from the Success, however, if you are doing what I think you are doing, and that is to grab the data and return it and assign it to something in another area IE

var obj = lobbyLeader();

Then you can just set the function to async:false and return the obj outside of the Success after the code has finished running. example

function lobbyLeader() {
var obj;
  $.ajax({
    async:false;
    data: {"id": 1, "request": "lobbyinfo", "method": "read"},
    url: 'api.php',
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data){
      obj= JSON.parse(data);
   }
 });
    return obj;
}

This way the script stops to wait for success and then sets and returns.
