AIR- changing alpha or visibility of StageWebView instance

Question

Using this class to wrap a StageWebView instance order to add it to the displaylist

http://soenkerohde.com/2010/11/air-mobile-stagewebview-uicomponent/

However, no matter what I try, I am still unable to control the alpha or visibility of the StageWebView instance.

Does anyone know how to do this?

stagewebview is not a UIcomponent. So, You will not be able to control the alpha or the visibility. try stageWebView.stage and set values on it. — Zeus, Mar 07 '14 at 21:57
Thanks, will try stageWebView.stage. If you looked at the code you would see that UIComponent is used simply as a wrapper. And I thought the purpose was to be able to treat StageWebView as though it was part of the display list. Maybe I'm missing something — Bachalo, Mar 08 '14 at 03:15

You can't. And you can't even place some DisplayObject over StageWebView, and animate It's alpha to imitate appearance.

You can control visibility by setting it = null, but its an on-off option. No change in alpha is possible

It is possible to display a web page with alpha by rendering the StageWebView to a Bitmap then draw the bitmap on screen with the required alpha.

Of course, no user interactions are possible while the view is displayed this way. But when you just want to create "show / hide" animations or you don't need the user to interact with the StageWebView, then it's fine.
