AIR for Desktop - StageWebView only display partial HTML content

[yufuair]

Hi,

I publish an AIR for Desktop Windows application from an AIR for iOS FLA file. The app downloads HTML content files from the server, and uses stageWebView to display the HTML content locally. The stageWebView works well to display the HTML content with lots of <div> and layers, but in the desktop version, it shows the HTML background image, but does not display certain <div> that need to show up.

Is it a HTML issue? or an AIR webkit issue?

What needs to be done to make HTML to work cross-platform in AIR?

Thank you for any advice/insights.

As of release 28, Air on iOS uses the latest iOS browser and hence renders content properly.

Air on Windows desktop defaults to an embedded Web Browser which is a WebKit version from 2012 or so.  It does not render current web standards. 

You can try adding ( true ) to your stageWebView instance at creation and it might use the default browser.

var swv = new StageWebView( true );

I've tried using StageWebView(true) but it does not change anything.... Adobe should look into updating the desktop version up to date with current web standards, for example, using Chrome webkit.

Yeah, an update to the web browser has been on the wish list since 2014 or so.

You can try to impliment this.  I have not yet, but may try soon.  I see it was updated 8 days ago!
