Problems Loading GoogleMaps v3 on iOS

[BernalCarlos]

Hello,

I'm using StageWebViewBridge to load a google map, but i'm having troubles with iOS devices. Sometime it loads, and sometimes it doesn't with no apparent error. Also the "Complete" event gets fired randomly.

I having the same issue reported here: https://github.com/xperiments/stagewebviewbridge

It looks like the repository is quiet, but can you at lest give me some directions of how to fix this?

Hope someone can answer.

Exactly same error. Does anybody have a solution?

Helo Andy,

This project has died, I was able to solve the problem by creating my own StageWebViewBridge. A much simpler one, with a lot of work to be donde ahead, but useful enough to load a GoogleMap on iOS and allow simple JS and AS3 communication.

If you're interested, I could upload the source code to Github, but only until monday or tuesday.

Best Regards, Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

Thank you for your reply, it would be great if you could upload it on Github.

I had a similar issue recently (with an AIR application) when the Google Maps API was updated from v.3.2 to v.3.3 - the map markers would no longer appear and I would get runtime errors. I discovered that StageWebViewBridge uses the AIR WebKit and it could not be forced to use the native browser's WebKit. I added an extra param to the StageWebViewBridge constructor in es.xperiments.media.StageWebViewBridge.as to be able to select which WebKit to use:

public function StageWebViewBridge( xpos : uint = 0, ypos : uint = 0, w : uint = 400, h : uint = 400, autoUpdateProps : Boolean = true, nativeWebKit : Boolean = false )
{
    super();
    _autoUpdateProps = autoUpdateProps;
    _viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, w, h );
    _view = new StageWebView( nativeWebKit );
    _view.viewPort = _viewPort;
...
}

Then to use the native browser's WebKit, in my AS3 code I call:

protected var webView:StageWebViewBridge;

protected function onDiskCacheEnd(e:StageWebviewDiskEvent):void {
    webView = new StageWebViewBridge(0, 0, this.width, this.height, false, true);
...
}

The markers appeared fine, no errors

Now I need to find out why StageWebViewBridgeEvent.DOM_LOADED isn't getting fired. Anyone have any suggestion?
