Ferninfa,
It doesn't need a new public function.
You just need to call javascript.
webView.evaluateJavascript("document.activeElement.id;", onJsEvaluated) private function onJsEvaluated(jsResult:JavascriptResult):void { trace("jsResult.result:", jsResult.result); }
Hi,
First of all , thanks for your hard work.
This web viewer is waaaay better than the old one I was using.
Aside from that, I'm facing a little inconvenient.
When I activate the web browser in my AIR app, (with addToStage();) the browser is allways on the front, and it isn't added to the child list do the Stage.
Is there a way to send the browser behind a Sprite?
Thank you.
@jaim23
There is no way to stack flash sprites in front.
The webview is a child window+process attached to AIR's container window.
It is not a Flash Sprite 
It is the main restriction.
To have written the webview so that it could be used as a "Sprite" would have been a very large task. It would have to use Offscreen rendering and be rendered back into a sprite every frame. Mouse, keyboard touch etc would have to been reimplemented.
Performance would have taken a big hit (think video webGL stuttering)
It basically would have been a world of trouble imo.

Is there a way to set a secure domain? For example I don't want to let the user leaving http://www.mydomain.com
Thank you chief
@ferninfa
We have this exact feature in our roadmap. In fact, we're willing to go a bit further by implementing two lists: allowed and blocked URLs/domains. That would allow for greater flexibility when configuring where the user could and couldn't navigate to.
AFAIK, the ANE does not have such feature at the moment. But I believe it could be achieved through the javascript interface. That being said...
@tuarua
Is this feature on your radar?
BTW, great job with the latest release.
There are 2 ways.
1) In your own app intercept "url" in onPropertyChange and do the check there, redirecting to another url for example
2) In the ANE write a custom Request Handler and do the check in OnBeforeBrowse.
1 is a little flawed in that the url is triggered after some of the url payload is delivered. It doesn't intercept as early as 2
2 I have no plans to implement this in the near term, as it's quite bespoke.
@tuarua, @MadNoMad
Thanks to both of you.
And is posible to block opening new tabs? (In our case new windows) I would like not to have floating windows over my browser. If the web open some link in a new tab, just block it. It would be posible?
The OSX version uses WKWebview which blocks all popups/new windows.
The Win Version uses CEF which doesn't.
I will add a TODO to allow this to be set:
1) Block
2) New window
3) Same window
May take a couple of weeks
Awesome @tuarua
I've coded some javascript that blocks most new windows, but it is far from fail safe because there are many ways a new window can be created.
Popup handling now added for both WIN & OSX
settings.popup.behaviour = Behaviour.NEW_WINDOW; //Behaviour.BLOCK //Behaviour.SAME_WINDOW settings.popup.dimensions.width = 600; settings.popup.dimensions.height = 800;
Is it possible to load only local HTML?
For example:
WebView.init ("localHTML.html", 0, 0, 1280, 600, settings);
The problem is that I need to load local html, tried using loadHTMLString:
var localHTML:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("sampleHTML.html"); load = new URLLoader(); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(localHTML.nativePath); load.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoad); load.load(req); private function onLoad(e:Event):void{ var html:String = load.data; load.close(); webView.loadHTMLString(html,"http://rendering/"); }
Simple html are displayed normally, but some are not displayed, just a white screen.
In an example attached a similar HTML that is not displayed.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7d7amgnhS6dSWgxVkhqT3NNZ2M/view?usp=sharing
It was made with Adobe AnimateCC.
Have you tried using init with no url (eg "") and then using the loadFileURL method ?
In the example included with the GitHub project I load local files.
var localHTML:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("sampleHTML.html"); if (localHTML.exists) { webView.loadFileURL("file://" + localHTML.nativePath, "file://" + File.applicationDirectory.nativePath); }
If you are getting white screens then use devtools (windows only) to debug the html/js
webView.showDevTools();
If I use loadFileURL, a security error appears in the debugger: "Not allowed to load local resource".
If that's the case then you'll need to load from applicationStorageDirectory
I had to do this for iOS + Android.
eg On app first run copy the files from applicationDirectory to applicationStorageDirectory
https://github.com/tuarua/WebViewANE/blob/master/example-mobile/src/StarlingRoot.as#L162
It does not work out, the same mistake.
Perhaps the problem is that the User name is in Cyrillic encoding. Devtools debug shows an incorrect path to the file:
file:///C:/Users/%D0%A0%C2%98%D0%A0%D0%86%D0%A0%C2%B0%D0%A0%D0%85/AppData/Roaming/NewProject/Local%20Store/sampleHTML.html
LoadFileURL gets the correct path, but in Devtools debug already shows the wrong path.
Is the problem in the encoding?
It's probably the cyrillic encoding or spaces in file names.
Have you tried using encodeURI ??
webView.loadFileURL("file://" + encodeURI(localHTML.nativePath), "file://" + encodeURI(File.applicationStorageDirectory.nativePath));
@tuara: Fantastic work, and just in time with the Popup-Block-feature.
Thank you very much.
One question: Showing Google Maps in an Windows-Desktop Applications runs fine. But…
clicking a bit aggressive on the external links in Google-Maps: "Google" / "Terms of use"
catches the touch-events. Mouse-events are fine and still active, but the touch-interactivity on the AIR-Buttons is gone. How can i debug this?
@tuara: encodeURI did not work. If there are no cyrillic characters on the way up to html, then html is loaded perfectly, but if there are cyrillic characters in the path, then an error. At the moment, this is not a big problem for me, but I just noticed it as a fact.
I can't believe we finally have a viable solution for a fully functioning touch-enabled embedded modern browser for AIR! @tuarua, thank you for this, and the solid support you are offering. I have just donated as I know this will come in handy for a couple of upcoming projects.
Referring to previous posts from @ferninfa and @MadNoMad, I also think that the ability to cancel a navigation event before it starts is an important one. You're right, it is a bespoke feature, but a desktop AIR app is quite a special case as it's widely used for public kiosk applications in which access to unauthorised URLs needs to be blocked.
At the moment I'm just checking the URL in the propertyCahnged event and calling load() on the previous URL, but it's essentially causing a page reload, which is a bit of a distraction.
Anyway, thank you once again for this!
Hmm, I think I've found a bug in Windows 10. It happens when you touch-hold to select text in a web page. The touch selection UI kicks in, but then ADL crashes.
I think what would be ideal is the ability to disable the long-press functionality altogether. Also the ability to disable the context menu, as this would grant access to the operating system for users.
