Browser widget with included folder

[Batninja]

Hello

Has anyone managed to get a folder with HTML files included into an IOS app and accessed with the browser widget?

I have included a folder called "iac" in the standalone settings that has an idex.html file and other content. It works fine with a direct path to the index.html file on my local drive in the browser widget URL but I cannot get the IOS app to find the included version.

The code I'm using is

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "file://" & specialfolderpath("engine") & "/iac/index.html" into file1
   set the url of widget "Browser" to file1
end mouseUp

I've tried with/without file: and various combinations of slashes without any luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

HI, I guess the specialfolderpath has to be "documents" instead of "engine" when deploying to iOS/mobile.

Get used to use -> specialfolderpath("resources")
That happens to be the same as -> specialfolderpath("engine")
on iOS, but only on iOS and Android!

Try this, and please use the CODE tags after pasting your LC script(s) here:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put "file://" & specialfolderpath("resources") & "/iac/index.html" into file1

  ## We have to avoid SPACES in the pathname for URLs:
  replace " " with "%20" in file1
  set the url of widget "Browser" to file1
  
  ## Check for success and maybe get a hint why it failed if it did:
  if the result <> EMPTY then
     answer "Error:" & CR & the result
  end if
end mouseUp

Thank so much Klaus for helping out with our code sample, it worked perfectly and runs fine on my iPhone 6s.

Thanks as well for the code tags advice, I fixed my original post
