I have a Flex HTML component that is displaying content from a remote URL

  • 0

I have a Flex HTML component that is displaying content from a remote URL and a button in the Flex application that reloads the content. However, it takes a few seconds for the IFrame’s content to refresh. During this time, there is no obvious feedback to the user that any action is underway.

I would like to clear the contents of the IFrame, so there is immediate feedback after clicking refresh, and then load the remote URL again. Is there a way to do this?

I’ve tried setting the HTMLText property to “” and setting the IFrame location to “about:blank”, and neither of these have the desired immediate effect. (on it’s own, setting the location to about:blank immediately clears the IFrame, but if it is followed by resetting the location to the original URL, the immediate clearing doesn’t occur. Is this something to do with the IFrame caching the original page?)

    One approach is to remove the component from the display list and add a new instantiated component back in its place.

    This will assure fully initialized state.
