  • 32bit

• Which IDE are you using?

  • 32, 33 lastest

• What steps will reproduce the problem?

• For example, I have 2 tabs: tab A and tab B, the current tab is tab A (_webView.currentTab = _tabAIndex). I need to evaluateJavascript on tab B but don't want to switch to tab B, something like that: _webView.evaluateJavascript(code, _tabBIndex); // eval the code on tab B Currently, I have to switch to tab B then eval the code then switch back to tab A:

  _webView.currentTab = _tabBIndex;
  _webView.evaluateJavascript(code);
  _webView.currentTab = _tabAIndex;

  I don't know if I missed something. Please help, Thank you!

By the way, thank you for giving us a great ANE.

Update: Switching to another tab when the current tab is loading causes errors:

_webView.currentTab = _tabAIndex;
_webView.load(new URLRequest(_targetURL));
_webView.currentTab = _tabBIndex;

Expected result: tab A will load the _targetURL. Actual result: tab B load the _targetURL.

_webView.currentTab = _tabAIndex;
_webView.load(new URLRequest(_targetURL));

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onNextFrame);

function onNextFrame(e:Event):void
{
    this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onNextFrame);
    _webView.currentTab = _tabBIndex;
}

Expected result: tab A will load the _targetURL. Actual result: tab A and tab B load the _targetURL.

No. All operations are done only on the web view visible to the user, ie the selected "tab"

Re: tabs. I am not able to reproduce. If I use the sample project and load tab 2 then enter a new url with the following code. Everything works as expected

private function onUrlEnter(event:Event):void {
    webView.currentTab = 0;
    webView.load(new URLRequest(urlInput.text));
    webView.currentTab = 1;
    tabBar.setActiveTab(1);
}
