  • 0

I am running Flex mobile project and I would like my mobile app to be able to load and display pdf files that are saved locally. I do not want to go out to the web to access these pdf files.

I cant figure out how to make this code work for a locally saved file.

Error MSG: “Error #2044: Unhandled ErrorEvent:. text=Load error.”

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!

    The Android Issue is actually a fundamental Android Browsers OS Issue. Think of the AIR StageWebView as a Hole carved out of your app showing you the browser and all its capabilities.

    If your OS supports viewing PDFs, then your App’s StageWebView will also. on Android 1.0 – 3.0 when you try and view a PDF it will download the doc it and Hand Shake it off onto another application like Acrobat.

    leaving to do something like:

    Hopfully this will be fixed in the newest version of Android…4.0
