OK, after two days of total stress, I figured I'd document the solution I just found, for the public good:
The HTMLLoader instance gets listener Event.COMPLETE prior to the load() call. // rootReference is my document class, extending Sprite // works: rootReference["stage"]["addChild"](rootRef["docViewer"]); // does NOT work: rootReference["addChild"](rootRef["docViewer"]); It turns out the HTMLLoader needs to be added in the topmost possible order, so add it to the stage, not just the doc class. Time for a nap, - MM I'm *desperately* trying to figure out why an AIR project's HTMLLoader won't load any pdfs, just showing blank. Web pages load fine. Based on documented known limitations (below): scaleX, scaleY, and alpha of the HTMLLoader are all 1, and rotation is 0. The window isn't transparent. The htmlLoader instance is at the top of the displayList. I set scaleMode to NO_SCALE. A simple test AIR file worked fine. It's got to be something about my file, but what can I double check? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
