embedding web page into Flowstone application

Post by fixstuff555 »

Hi all,

Would it be possible to embed a web page (or 2) into a flowstone app, and see it from the GUI? There are a lot of devices these days out there with a web server built in. You could embed a web page frame into a GUI, and be able to access it from flowstone. I know you can open a web browser using the web URL primitive, but it would be nice to have something like an Iframe control.

Something like this:

Would this be possible with ruby or a DLL?

What I would like to do is embed 2 web pages into a single GUI, each web page has buttons and control objects on it and each also has a live video image inside it. I could embed 2 web cam frames, and do the buttons in FS, but it would be re-doing whats already functional from the web browsers.

Any suggestions?

I believe this would require building essentially a complete web browser within Flowstone. Video playback would require HTML5 or Flash plugin support.
