mobGUI Browser Control Not Loading

Post by granata » Tue Nov 26, 2013 10:23 pm

I've got a mobGUI browser control on a card that does a couple of odd things:

1. When I navigate to the card the first time, the control does not appear on the card. If I navigate away from the card and back to it, it shows.

2. I cannot get the control to load a local html file despite importing the parent folder of the html file into Standalone Settings, double checking my path, setting SFPath to 'engine,' etc.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

MobGUI hasn't been updated for 2 years now. This might affect your first problem.

Post your code here. Without code, it is difficult to determine what is wrong with it.

Kind regards,

That's a shame about mobGUI.

There is no code to speak of other than:

Code: Select all

go to card 2
Card 2 would have the browser control from mobGUI. I've attached an image that shows how this control is configured.

Hi,

You might want to tic auto-fit and auto-destroy. Giving the browser a (temporary) background colour might help debugging (in as much as that's possible).

Kind regards,

Thanks, Mark. Setting those settings has no discernible effect on the problem. I'll look into using mobileControlCreate as an alternative.

Hi. Sorry, if that doesn't help then I'm out of ideas.

Hi granata,
I'm with Gerry.
Here is the lesson on how to make your own browser (probably the same one made by mobGui).
