Displaying HTML in Flash Builder 4

The simplest of all clients is a simple HTML client. Adobe AIR uses the Webkit HTML engine which gives you a powerful set of capabilities including AJAX, CSS and HTML controls.

set the URL, how it handles international characters, CSS and AJAX.

    Hey Duane

    i'm pretty sure u don't remember me we just met this morning at the paris adobe event about SEO i was the one who talked about User Agent :) Nevermind...

    I was asking myself why the html component is limited to work into an Air application ; as it's in the flex framework, it shouldn't be off an online RIA, shouldn't it ? I'm pretty sure it could be usefull someday

    So, (if you know about it) what are the limitations that put the HTML away from RIA playground and why couln't we use it in a flex experience ?

    Was great this morning :)


    See you
