All Over Software Jobs: [flexcoders] app:/file.swf not being loaded into HTMLLoader (AIR)

Saturday, December 10, 2011

It's not showing up.

I have a simple html file in src directory (preview.html)

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<body>
<div id="flashContent" height="675" width="1010">
<object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='100%' height='100%' id="flash">
<param name="movie" value="app:/main.swf"/>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque"/>
</object>
</body>
</div>
</html>

It is embedded as a string and loaded by an htmlLoader:

[Embed(source="preview.html", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var previewStr:Class;

var html:HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader();
var bytes:ByteArray = new previewStr();
var preview:String = bytes.readUTFBytes(bytes.length)
html.loadString(preview);
html.height=675;
html.width=1010;
var wrapper:UIComponent=new UIComponent();
wrapper.addChild(html);
addElement(wrapper);

The window appears...but without the swf. Does anyone know why?
