The CacheFileSystem doesn't work because you have to write on the storage, I've 
modified the StageWebViewBridges.as using File.applicationStorageDirectory.

Anyway the Communication still not working.

I have find some time and machine ( Android ) to test with...

As you comment the problem with Android is that we can't write to the 
application directory as is really a "pseudo-zip" and the nativePath of the 
"app:/" returns blank.

As you say the workarround is to move the cache filesystem to the 
File.applicationStorageDirectory. But this implies that you double the space 
used by your content. For little projects with only a few files there is no 
major problem, but imagine an app that contains a huge amount of 
videos....!!!!!!

The problem with the communication is solved deleting the window.alert rewrite 
code from the StageWebViewBridge.as and StageWebViewBridge.js.

Seems that the Android webkit don't like this!!! grrr

DELETE THIS LINES FROM StageWebViewBridge.as and StageWebViewBridge.js.
// workaround to fix application crash when window.alert is called directly 
from AS3         
    window.alert = function(native)
    {
            window.nativeAlert = native;
            return function(str)
            {
            setTimeout('window.nativeAlert("'+str+'");',10);
            }
    }(window.alert);

Anyway, I am testing some other methods for do a good workarround....

I've not found time to find out out why, but on testing with ipad I find I am 
unable to write to applicationDirectory, so cacheFilesytem of course fails 
unless I change it to use applicationStorageDirectory.
Any ideas on how/why this might happen? I'm using AIR 2.7, ios is at least one 
version behind the latest release on this ipad.

On the nativeAlert thing, AIR webkit can have some issues with 
setTimeout(stringToExecute) I've found. This is documented in fact.
You have to use the form setTimeout(function() {window.nativeAlert(str)},10);

Anyway, thanks for the source, it looks like it might be enough to do want I 
want to do one way or another
I expect my syntax is bad in the above line, but you get the idea (I hope! I 
also hope I'm not entirely wrong about that :) ).

Someone find a way to display html files on Android with local video inside ?
I cannot play <video> in Android plateforme (ok on IOS).
If I use a direct link (http:// ...) for the video source, it works, but failed 
with local video (applicationStorageDirectory or other temp folder)
