Load a PDF in StageWebView - iOS

[seriousfretter09]

I am trying to create an iOS app that loads my companies product catalogue into a webview stage. I cannot figure out after a lot of google how to access this local file, although external files load fine. I'm trying to use the "file:" command. I'm doing this in flash builder.

                              import flash.display.MovieClip;

                              import flash.media.StageWebView;

                              import flash.geom.Rectangle;

                              var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();

                              var yOffset = 47

                              {

                                             public function FestoKP() {

                                                       webView.stage = this.stage;

       webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, yOffset, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight - yOffset);

       webView.loadURL( "file:///asset/Festo_KP_Catalogue.pdf" );

                                                       closeBtn.visible = true

       }

       public function Close() {

       webView.stage = null;

       closeBtn.visible = false;

       }

                              }

I am on the same boat.  Did you ever find a good working example? -I'm about to give up.

Yes, I actually did finally figure it out. I ended up scraping this method though because although it works very well in iOS, it does not work on android. Would you still like me to post the code? I ended up completing this project in Xcode instead, so it'll take a bit to dig up.

These guys at "CultCreative" seem to have the ideal solution for FB (it even checks to see if a newer .pdf is on a server)  but my project was built in Flash Pro CS5.5 so again just want to load a few local .pdf files which would be bundled up with the app.

I'm still interested in the method you used for iOS if it works well with Air (3.1) for iOS.   However, I am determined to find a way of using Flash Pro CS5.5 to do so.   Thanks! -if you can find it, and think your AS3 from FB would work for me.

In the example below, I included a close button to close the webview. This function is at the bottom. Y-offset is the height of the toolbar at the top.

<fx:Script>

<![CDATA[

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.media.StageWebView;

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();

var yOffset = 45;

var yTabs = 54;

//var yOffset = 90;

//var yTabs = 107;

private function loadDSPF():void {

webView.stage = this.stage;

webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, yOffset, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight - yOffset );

var fileName:String = "foldername/filename";

var sourceFile = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( fileName );

var workingFile = File.createTempFile();

try

{

sourceFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );

// You have to rename the temp file

var renamedTempFile:File = workingFile.resolvePath(workingFile.nativePath + fileName);

workingFile.moveTo(renamedTempFile, true);

webView.loadURL( renamedTempFile.url );

closeBtn.visible = true;

}

catch (err:Error) { }

}

public function Close() {

webView.stage = null;

closeBtn.visible = false;

allBtn.enabled = true;

}

]]>

</fx:Script>

hope that helps. I can explain anything else if you need.
