Support for "flex-iframe" library

[falpi]

Describe the bug

Currently using the "flex-iframe" (https://github.com/flex-users/flex-iframe) library does not appear to be supported. An empty frame remains and no "iframe" element is created even though no errors appear on the browser console. Is it possible that the library will be supported in the future? Browsers should allow an IFrame element to be overlaid on the Canvas element where Ruffle does its rendering.

Expected behavior

Full support of flex-iframe library.

Likely fixed by https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/pull/16505 but I haven't tested this specific library

@Dinnerbone I tried importing the correct files from your repository but nothing changes : the iframe element is not created even though no error is observed in the browser console. I think it is best to prepare a minimal code example to specifically test the library. As soon as I can find the time I will. Greetings

Hi @Dinnerbone , I created a minimal Flash Builder 4.6 project, with a single "flex-iframe" component that works with a Flash Player runtime while with Ruffle, even with your repository patch, it doesn't work at all: no IFrame is created and no no error is generated in the browser console.

Thank you for making that; can you please share it so that I can investigate? Thankyou!

Hi, I'm attaching two Flash Builder 4.6 projects: the first produces the "flex-iframe" library while the other uses it in a simple application that opens an IFrame with an embedable site. Inside projects you could find the SWC and SWF precompiled or you can build on you own. example.zip

Below I will paste inline the MXML source of the simple application :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
			   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
			   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" 
			   xmlns:com="com.google.code.flexiframe.*" >
	
	<com:IFrame width="50%" height="50%" source="https://www.flightradar24.com/simple"/>
	
</s:Application>

Hi @Dinnerbone any news ? Have you tried the code above ?

[Dinnerbone]

I can see that it is making the iframe, it's there on the page, it just hasn't been made visible. I'm not sure why that is yet.

I hope you'll be able to figure this out soon, incorporating your fixes into the main branch. Best regards
