We have covered how to display both remote and local web pages using the StageWebView
class. It is also possible to generate HTML on the fly and render it directly within your iOS app.
Let us see how this is done by dynamically creating a web page that makes use of a PNG image and a style sheet.
The steps covered here are only applicable to those using Flash Professional CS5.5 and at least version 2.6 of the AIR SDK. AIR 2.0 does not support the StageWebView
class.
We will require the use of the as3corelib API. It is a library of invaluable ActionScript 3.0 classes and utilities for all kinds of things including hashing, image encoding, and string manipulation. For this recipe, we will use the library's PNG encoder.
The as3corelib API is available from GitHub at: http://github.com/mikechambers/as3corelib. Click on the page's Downloads link and select as3corelib-.93.zip from the Download Packages section. Extract the .zip
file to your Documents...
