AIR stageWebView ignores HTML5 Mobile Twitter Site ????

Found something strange.. wonder if anyone has any ideas on this.

Working on an iPad app.. 

Last week when I would load in a users Twitter page with stageWebView It would load up the nice HTML5 version.

Now its loading that horrendous plain HTML version.

Here's the strange part though.

I have an option in my app with many sharing options...   "Open In Safari" is one of them.

When you click on Open In Safari .. the exact same url is passed and launched with the native Safari Browser... and it loads up the HTML5 version.

Isn't the browser being used in stageWebView just the Safari browser ?   What's different ?

Does anyone know why it was working last week and not now ?     or how I can get it to work again ?

Strange.......

Nah, the StageWebview has lots of problems. In the document, they say, StageWebView brings native browser no mantter which platform you use. That's actually a "Lie", because it lost some content control.

However, I don't know why your stage loaded the HTML5 pages correctly first, then fail.

Try whatever you can to make it work in Flex. Or just load the native extension of Objective-C UIWebView from AIR. Then you will be fine for-ever.
