Why does this Facebook page can't be displayed within a StageWebView?

[blogtom]

Hi,

By trying to open the website https://www.facebook.com/nike within a StageWebView, I received the following error:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: console at https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/y2/r/KK4271o6DmT.js : 95 TypeError: Result of expression 'bigPipe' [undefined] is not an object.

The website stopped loading and couldn't be displayed completly.

This is the Air/AS3 code I'm using:

var webView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
webView.stage = this.stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
webView.loadURL("https://www.facebook.com/nike")

How to get to load the website within StageWebView completely? (Is there a way to ignore the errors?)

I'm using Flash CS6 and Adobe Air 3.9

Thanks for any ideas!

Have you tried the newest version of AIR? You can download it here.

Yes, I just tested AIR 4 and it's not working either.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Not sure I tested your code and it works fine with me. However, I'm using Flash CC on a PC.

This has happened to me in the past.  Though I was not opening Facebook in a StageWebView - I was loading facebook profile images using a Loader.  For me it was a cross-domain permissions/security issue.  The problem is that Facebook loads a lot of content from akamaihd.net which is on a different domain to facebook.com

This is what I did to fix it - I added this line somewhere before the call to Facebook:

import flash.system.Security;

Security.loadPolicyFile('https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml');

You'll likely have to change the URL to this?

Security.loadPolicyFile('https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml');

Hope it helps!
