Question

Dispatching events from webkit for consumption in Adobe AIR

Answer 1

+1 A:

There is, although it took me a little while to find it.

This should serve as a pretty good starting off point: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=ProgrammingHTMLAndJavaScript_04.html

Here's the key code:

var html:HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader();
var foo:String = "Hello from container SWF." 
function helloFromJS(message:String):void {
    trace("JavaScript says:", message);
}
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.html");
html.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
html.load(urlReq);

function loaded(e:Event):void{
    html.window.foo = foo;
    html.window.helloFromJS = helloFromJS;
}

The HTML content (in a file named test.html) loaded into the HTMLLoader object in the previous example can access the foo property and the helloFromJS() method defined in the parent SWF file:

<html>
    <script>
        function alertFoo() {
            alert(foo); 
        }
    </script>
    <body>
        <button onClick="alertFoo()">
            What is foo?
        </button>
        <p><button onClick="helloFromJS('Hi.')">
            Call helloFromJS() function.
        </button></p>
    </body>
</html>
