GrabIt HTML within Apollo

The Apollo HTML control is built with Webkit which is the same rendering engine used by Safari on Mac. The GrabIt application used the HTML control as a browser window. It then allows the user to take a screen shot of the web page being displayed and manage those screen shots using Apollo’s file system access. It also allows the user to view the source of the html and save that to the file system as well. There are some features using the FileSystem components that have been disabled in this build due to bugs with them being used within the windowing API.
In this application all files are stored within the File.appStorageDirectory. For more information on File and FileStream please see this post.

There are some limitations with the alpha dealing with certain characters and function keys. Also, swf is not yet supported withinin the HTML component of this alpha.

Alright, just wanted to know more about how to actually capture what’s in the HTML control. Is that functionality built in the actual control or how does that work?

Here is the code used to retrieve the HTML. Adobe is currently considering making this part of the API where it would return in the htmlText property. html is the id of the mx:HTML control.
var str:String = html.htmlControl.window.document.documentElement.innerHTML;
str = str.replace(/\r/g, File.lineEnding);
str = ‘<html> + str + ‘</html>’;

Oh, take a look at the PNGEncoder and JPGEncoder classes that are part of the core lib:

I’ll see if I have time to put up another tutorial on this.

Thanks for the tips on getting innerHTML. Do you have any pointers on how you create the browser images? You mentioned you might post a tutorial. Even a hint would be useful because I’ve tried searching and hacking myself but to no avail.
