Loading Packaged Files

Loading Packaged Files

You can load files that are packaged with your application by simply passing an accessible location to the loadURL() call. You may have to copy the files to an accessible location, especially on Android.

In the example application we have a directory named www that contains several example html files. In the following we show how to copy these to an accessible location and then load them into the web view.

var webView:WebView = NativeWebView.service.createWebView( new Rectangle( 0, 0, 400, 600 ) ) ;

var file:File;
var fileUrl:String;
if (NativeWebView.service.version.indexOf("Android") > 0)
{
    // Android: Copy the application packaged files to an accessible location           
    var packagedWWWRoot:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( "www" );
    var destination:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath( "www" );
    packagedWWWRoot.copyTo( destination, true );
    // Grab the file url
    file = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath( "www/example.html" );
    fileUrl = "file://"+file.nativePath;
}
else 
{
    // iOS:
    file = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( "www/example.html" );
    fileUrl = "file://"+file.nativePath;
}

webView.loadURL( fileUrl );
