roUrlTransfer in BrightScript
Yes, as long as the url is accessible to the Roku, you can host it as a static json or xml file. You don't need a full blown web service. In fact, a significant number of the channels available on the Roku are driven by static MRSS feeds....
Brightscript plugin: How to access user variables in processEvent
They should be in m, which is the BrS equivalent of self/this. I.e. when for a PizzaBuilder's instance pb the method (or event; "member function" really) pb.processEvent() is called, inside it a magic variable m points to pb. So what you asked for - based on PDF sample - is...
Roku - page not loading
My guess is your computer and Roku are connected to different networks and Roku is unreachable from the PC. Note one is on 192.168.2, the other - on 192.168.3 network. Either you have multiple routers (maybe cascaded) or one router but one of the devices is connected to "guest" WiFi...

ROKU: Associative Array with multiple values
You don't need to do any of that. Just send the JSON array and Roku will parse it: BrightScript Debugger> myJSON = "[1998,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014]" BrightScript Debugger> ? type(myJSON) String BrightScript Debugger> arr = parseJSON(myJSON) BrightScript Debugger> ? type(arr) roArray It's perfectly valid to have array as top-level element of the json...
