Important ! To use flex-iframe, you must add the parameter wmode="opaque" to the embed in your HTML template, as shown in this example. For more information about this prerequisite, read the FAQ.

Create an IFrame

Here is an example of use in MXML:

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
                xmlns:flexiframe="http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/">

    <flexiframe:IFrame id="googleIFrame"
                       label="Google"
                       source="http://www.google.com"
                       width="80%"
                       height="80%"/>

<mx:Application>

You can create IFrames in ActionScript too by importing the IFrame class:

import com.google.code.flexiframe.IFrame;
