getResult = ds_map_find_value(async_load, "result");
getResultDecoded = json_decode(getResult);

var getAllData = ds_map_find_value(getResultDecoded, "default");
var leaderboardMapSize = ds_list_size(getAllData);

for (var i = 0; i < leaderboardMapSize; i++)
{
leaderboardData = ds_list_find_value(getAllData, i);
global.leaderboardPlayerName[i] = string(ds_map_find_value(leaderboardData, "playerName")); //SAVES PLAY NAME INTO ARRAY
global.leaderboardPlayerScore[i] = string(ds_map_find_value(leaderboardData, "playerScore")); // SAVES PLAYER SCORE INTO ARRAY
//EXTRA VARIABLES
global.leaderboardScoreSubmittedDate[i] = string(ds_map_find_value(leaderboardData, "scoreDate")); // SAVES THE DATE THE SCORE WAS SUBMITTED INTO AN ARRAY AS TIMESTAMP
