AS3 Starling stagewebview cant access content

I have setup a starling project and added stagewebview to embed Google maps. I have tested the project using Facebook and it seems to load http://facebook.com correctly. The issue I am having is I am unable to access the page (click links, log in etc).

I don't know if I understand the use of stagewebview or if something else is stopping me from accessing the content. My understanding is you can load an external page into the project/device.

The project will be used in a mobile app that uses maps. If someone knows of a better way to using Google maps (or any other mapping software) in a mobile (iOS and Android) I am all ears.

Thanks

Loading Google maps into a stageWebView certainly is possible. Although I used StageWebViewBridge as I needed communication both ways between ActionScript and JavaScript.

StageWebViewBridge loading and communicating with online page

Be aware though that the stageWebView won't be on the Starling (Stage3D) display list. It will need to sit above on the Flash NativeStage.

For mobile you could look into using an ANE to access mapping APIs.

Or Distriqt sell a range of ANE's, mapping included.
