AIR App compiled from Dreamweaver HTML5 tags not working

I compiled an Air app out of Dreamweaver that includes HTML5 files with the "audio" tag. The elements do not display in the app. Does Air support HTML5 tags? Everything else seems to work in the app.

AIR uses WebKit: Adobe Flash Platform * About the HTML environment

And audio/video is not supported Adobe Flash Platform * WebKit features not supported in AIR

However, StageWebView does let you use audio/video tags: StageWebView - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

StageWebView is not a really way to create your entire application, though, just a way to display HTML content using the device's HTML rendering engine, so you aren't limited to AIR's embedded webkit. Of course, you are limited to the device's rendering engine instead. Also, you can't interact with the StageWebView's HTML content other than location navigation.

Also see this thread on the possible future of AIR's embedded WebKit vs StageWebView implementation: How do you use AIR's WebKit/htmlloader?

Hope that helps.
