Re: who Open HTML in the Flex ?
(Moving thread to users@flex.apache.org. Bcc-ing dev@flex.apache.org in
case someone wants to follow the thread. )
Marcio,
For AIR, you can just use the built-in HTML component.
I am assuming you want this for Flex on Flash Player. I have worked with
Drumbeat's HTML component for Flex [1] and Flex-iframe [2]
Both worked just fine for me. There might some browser specific
annoyances, but for the most part things work fine.
And you need to subscribe to users@flex.apache.org to read further replies

Thanks,

Hello
Just sharing the way I did. I had to show a PDF inside flash to be
able to print, I tried many components and all of then didnt work very
well.
The best way I found it was using javascript and an iframe inside a
div.
Then from flex using the command ExternalInterface.call I can get
the iframe with html.
I also add an event inside flex window, once move, call the
javascript to move the div.
After a did in that way, all my problems with html finished.
You can have a look the javascript and html in my software
www.a00s.com, have a Demo login so you can check how it works.
thanks

RE: who Open HTML in the Flex ?
Posted by Greg Huddleston <gh...@reachips.com>.
Sorry left of the most important part... you can leave of the http://part and just load a local html file embedd3ed in your flex/air app
Example
...
webView1.source - remotepage0;
...
where remotepage0 can also take the form,
remotepage0 ='assets/htmlfiles/abcd.html'; etc etc
Works great and its free Hope this helps and is slightly clearer.... //GH

Perhaps this may useful for the orig poster of the request, as I did something in Jan of a similar nature for a Flex Mobile Project I was working on for a medical conference...
For a Flex Mobile project I just created I used (part-of) a component package @ https://code.google.com/p/flexcapacitor/ used the (badly named because of iOS) ->" WebView "
Download it out of github from the URL above and unzip.
a) (what I did),
Place the component in this path in your project (flexprojectxxx/src/com.flexcapacitor.controls)
Inside of this put Webview.as (I presume other components from this package would go here if you wanted them/needed them
b) Next
Inside script code (I call it on initializerload to load first 'web' page into my view":
...
<fx:Script>
<CDATA[
import events.flexevent;
public var remotepage0:String = "http://labs.adobe.com";
public function onViewInitialize():void {
...
webView1.source - remotepage0;
...
} //end of onViewInitialize
...
protected function button0_clickhandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
`webView1.source =remotepage0;
}
Or alternatively you could do-a:
protected function button1_clickhandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigator.pushview(vew.testview1) // and place the 'code' that in button0_clickhandler in the view (again depending on what type of flex project you are outputting here)
}
... ect ect...
I put my CSS, images and html in a flat folder structure and accessed it that way fine in the HTML.
Think that might be enough to get you going if this components function fits your exact needs.
One more thing. For Flex Mobile -> Android <- this wont work exactly unless you COPY the HTML content, CSS images first at initialization time, then call that the function as this is the way Android OS works (probably for protection reasons). Google around for threads dealing with this issue IF it is needed for your particular project (not sure about iOS as I have no device to test any of these behaviors against) as my project was purely Android.
Also note, I have zero affiliation with the makers of this code. I just used it and it worked for me and it was zero cost.
Hope this helps. Cheers //GH (Huddleston.greg@gmail.com)

Web is not HTML alone. You have css, images, javascript and even swf
files. Unless Flash Player ships with Webkit inside it, there is no way
that we can get all web pages to display properly inside a Flex app.
These components we are talking about employ a clever hack by making an
area transparent and loading the web page inside an iframe at the same
exact location. And it is not without its problems.
I dont think it is a sound enough technique for us to bake it into the Flex
framework.

Well, one of the things that made Flash popular was that it didn't play with
HTML/JS so you could guarantee your rendering in different browsers.
But yeah, that's why I did that prototype years ago. I thought we should
render HTML in Flash so you didn't have this integration issue. Here's the
blog post: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/html_and_flex_1.html
However, many folks felt that this was the equivalent to writing webkit, or
at least, the design-view in DreamWeaver and we didn't have resources to do
it. That could be true, but I still get the feeling it is easier than that
because I would make some assumptions like only supporting XHTML so I don't
have to have all of that smart parsing logic that handles bad XHTML.
Early versions would be display-only and not run script. To run script you
would need a JS interpreter.

I was nt thinking about shiping with the entire WebKit engine.
But more letting the underlying browser handle things be it an iFrame.

I believe this is if you buy with source code, without source it's $149(at

least till Flex 4.6l!

But, he sold the company a few years, though, so probably doesn't have
much negotiating power. As I understand it; from afar; it just uses the
Flex iFrame trick; and then has lots of tweaks in order to deal with
eccentricities of it.

I, for one, did not want to take on the maintenance of HTML/JS code at the
time.
I still have dreams of rendering HTML as Flash display objects. I posted a
prototype of that years ago and started a re-write just before the big
change. I think I may actually get back to it as part of the FlexJS stuff
way in the future.

249 USD to display HTML in a web application. Insane.
You gotta wonder what Adobe was thinking to not adding a fundamental
feature like this inside Flash/Flex

@christofer yes, they actually does.. I remember, in an app that needed to
show PDF/HTML I was listening for some events from the application
systemManager to at least temporarly hide the iframe when a popup was
displayed (think of Alert boxes for example), otherwise you risk to have it
covered by the iframe and completely lock the flex app (modal popup that
cannot be dismissed).

There is no question iFrames have their issues.
But i d rather have that then having nothing at all.
The component could have an "experimantal" flag on it or something like
that.

If you have a Flex application, rendering HTML content, that in turn
loads another Flex application, you have other issues !

But only until you want to have flex stuff displayed on to of iframe
content. Then things start getting ugly :-(
