Allowing pop-up's and downloads with flex
- by ShadowVariable
I'm building an flex app that is basically a wrapper for a few websites. One of them is a google docs website, and I'm trying to get flex to allow downloads or popups or something that will allow me to do it. I've tried a whole bunch of solutions online and none of them have worked out. Here's the code so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
width="100%" height="100%"
creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">
<s:layout>
<s:HorizontalLayout/>
</s:layout>
<fx:Style source="style.css"/>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
include "CustomHTMLLoader.as";
private function onCreationComplete():void
{
// ... other stuff ...
var custom:object;
custom.htmlHost = new MyHTMLHost();
}
]]>
</fx:Script>

and the custom class code:
package
{
import flash.html.HTMLHost;
import flash.html.HTMLWindowCreateOptions;
import flash.html.HTMLLoader;
public class MyHTMLHost extends HTMLHost
{
public function MyHTMLHost(defaultBehaviors:Boolean=true)
{
super(defaultBehaviors);
}
override public function createWindow(windowCreateOptions:HTMLWindowCreateOptions):HTMLLoader
{
// all JS calls and HREFs to open a new window should use the existing window
return HTMLLoader.createRootWindow();
}
}
}
any help would be appreciated.
