WebView Information

You can get information about the current state and contents of the web view through a range of methods.

For example you can retrieve the current loaded url through the location property.

var currentUrl:String = webView.location;

Similarly you can retrieve the last loaded status code, user agent, and several other properties:

trace( "UserAgent:  " + webView.userAgent );
trace( "StatusCode: " + webView.statusCode );

Cookies​

You can access the current cookies loaded in the page using the cookies property.

var cookies:Object = webView.cookies;
for (var cookieName:String in cookies)
{
    trace( cookieName +" = " + cookies[cookieName] );
}

HTML Source​

You can retrieve the current page source using the htmlSource property. This may be useful if you just want to inspect the contents of the loaded page, however if you need to interact with the content you should look into using the javascript communication interface.

trace( webView.htmlSource );
