I'm working on a flex mobile project now.
I've created a StageWebView and call function loadString()
var str:String='bookmark'
+'<span id=".E9.81.8B.E7.87.9F.E7.8B.80.E6.B3.81">bookmark</span>';
webview.loadString(str);
It's a simple sample that if you click on the bookmark and you can get access to it.
But I want to put the content in the tag into a spark list. And get the same result when I click the list which needs some kind of simulation of a click in a webView.
Is there any possibilities of doing this?
using StageWebViewBridge you can send events to your swf. i dont know the details how to work with it, but it should be straight forward. :)
simply register the click on the html tag using javascript and bridge it over to actionscript.

I have an app built in Unity which uses the new canvas features including buttons and inputfields.
I'm wondering how I could implement automated testing by programmatically entering characters into the input fields and clicking buttons.
In the case of the button the UI.Button component doesnt seem to have a click method you can call.
Is there a way of registering mouse clicks at the buttons location? Or some other way of achieving this?
Ok, This is how you click a button programmatically
MyButton.onClick.Invoke();
and for the inputfields you can just set their text fields like so..
MyInput.text = "flooopybloopybloo";
I'm developing an app which works more or less like the Notes app. When user click the + button a modal window with TextEdits is to be slided up，just like the Notes app did. However I was unable to locate any resource mentioning this kind of thing. Any clues?
I think you are looking for the QML Sheet element. You will need to implement the TextEdit part yourself.
Greetings! I have a Flex 4.5 Mobile project rolling, and I've hit a pretty crazy snag. I'm using a StageWebView object to render web pages, embedded within the rest of my spark layouts. I'm trying to add a gesture event to the component that contains the StageWebView, but since the StageWebView object doesn't belong to the Flex stack (it inherits from EventDispatcher, not UIComponent) all of my events seem to be getting eaten. Any mouse based event (click, gesture, etc) doesn't seem to register, and I'm not sure how to get around it. The gesture events work if I use the area where the browser is not rendered. How can I get the gesture event from the outer SkinnableContainer?

Thanks!
I guess you might have to wire up the gesture events yourself, just doing a quick digging in UIComponent.as, it has these:
[Event(name="touchInteractionStarting", type="mx.events.TouchInteractionEvent")]
[Event(name="touchInteractionStart", type="mx.events.TouchInteractionEvent")]
[Event(name="touchInteractionEnd", type="mx.events.TouchInteractionEvent")]
it's not a bug, from what i understand any mouse interaction over a stagewebview means an interaction with the html currently loaded in itself. you should capture events there and trigger it back to the swf.
surely there are some jquery plugins or something that have gestures to help achieving that.
it's a bit of a bummer that you cant overlay stuff over them though.
When a user clicks a button, I need a separate browser window to popup. How can I set the modal property of the application? (ie, when a popup window opens, the main application is disabled until that popup is closed ... I need to use a browser window rather than a popup window, but can't figure out how to disable the main application)
PopUpManager.createPopUp (this, navigateToURL( url, "http://www.google.com" ) , true );
thanks!

Ok, my modal dialog looks like so:
cg = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, ChoiceGrid, true) as ChoiceGrid;
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(cg);
But, what I would do instead of what you're asking, is embed an IFrame in the modal popup. This is exactly what we're doing in our app to collect CC data (well, not the popup part, just the IFrame bit. http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/
This way, you have the standard modal dialog you're looking for, AND an internally managed 'view' out to your checkout server. Something like this:
<code:IFrame id="iFrameWithJSfunctions"
src="{checkoutURL}" />
The flex-iframe is pretty easy to work with, for the most part. You shouldn't have many problems with it.

I'm not sure you need a PopUp to do this.
Why don't you simply do:
navigateToURL(urlRequest,"_blank");
instead?
You should think of a Flex App as a self contained entity. The PopUpManager is designed to create Windows (Panels / any UIComponent) that reside over another component inside the SWF. It does not create items that pop up out of the SWF or in new browser windows.
navigateToURL could be used to create a HTML pop-up from your Flex application. However, there is very little--if any--communication between the SWF and the browser pop up. And there is no way to make a modal pop-up.
You might investigate performing an ExternalInterface call and creating your new pop up in JavaScript. Here is an article about creating modal windows in JavaScript. Before going too far down that road, I would think carefully about your requirements. How would feel if one browser window popped open another browser window and prevented you from doing any browsing until you addressed the issues in that window. Or to put it another way, how would you feel if Microsoft Word opened a word document and wouldn't let you edit any other document until you shut down the first one? I'd be pretty upset.
Modal application dialogs are one thing. And the PopUpManager allows you to create those. I would consider Model application windows a bad UI decision.
I'm trying to launch a popup window from Flex, but the popup window needs to have certain properties as one can usually specify with the JavaScript window.open. For example, the popup window should not have a browser toolbar or URL box.
I've tried using navigateToURL, which works fine, but I can't find a way to specify the popup window properties.
I've tried using ExternalInterface.call, but the popup gets blocked when calling window.open directly, or even creating a custom JS function that calls window.open.
Help!
Thanks!
I don't think it's even possible to disable the browser toolbar or URL box in a lot of browsers (I certainly do not allow it on any of the browsers I use).
If you're using navigateToURL, why can't the page you're opening run the JS to try to disable the toolbar and URL? I think you can also attach attributes to the URL if you wanted to send properties over.
You can use PopUpManager class of Flex for creating custom pop up box.
This example may help you. Custom PopUp
Check out AndrewT's blog about checking for popup blockers.
If not blocked, then use ExternalInterface; otherwise use the flex popup.
Detecting Popup Blockers
Or better yet, use SWFAddress v2.3 (javascript and AS3) modules. The AS3 has SWFAddress::popup() facade that proxies the poup call to the javascript. You can modify the SWFAdress.js popup function to use Andrew's logic and return a status. This would be a best practice: leveraging superlative SWFAddress library from flex for deeplinking, google analytics, and popups.
