Display external swf?

Hello Everyone

I am new to Adobe AIR development.

I have following code to display external SWF on iPad. I have not tested it on simulator. Will it actually work on the device? Has anyone displayed external swf files on iOS?

I am using Flahsbuilder 4.6 for development. I created "New ActionScript Mobile Project".

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://<domainname>/test3.swf");

                              loader = new Loader()

                              loader.load(request);

Thanks

AIR is Flash, so Flash apps do work on iOS. It's just that you can't run swfs inside Safari.

It should work ok if the swf you are loading has no ActionScript in it.

Hi Colin

Thanks for the quick reply.

The out of the project is .swf.

I am wondering, if the app will actually run on iOS, since iOS does not support flash?

Thanks
