The IFrame component was developed originally by Christophe Coenraets and then subsequently improved by Brian Deitte. The Flex-IFrame component allows developers to embed an html page inside a Flex application.

Getting started

- The component is straightforward to use with a few very important caveats. IMPORTANT : Please read the FAQ and the ASdoc before using.

- Download the swc build of flex-iframe (or use Maven), and drop it in your project's libs/ directory.

- Here is a basic example of use:

<mx:Application
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    xmlns:flexiframe="http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/">

    <flexiframe:IFrame id="googleIFrame"
                       label="Google"
                       source="http://www.google.com"
                       width="80%"
                       height="80%"/>

<mx:Application>

- Ask your questions to the Flex-IFrame Google group.

Examples

- Simple Html

- Dashboard

- Navigation tree

- Tab navigator

- Load indicator

- IFrame communication (FABridge) + overlay detection

Notes

- Chrome doesn't like FABridge so no joy with the communication demos (map and bridge).

- Safari doesn't like FABridge so (again) no point using the communication demos.
