Cool! Would this work Google Maps by chance? Might have to just give this a test! :slight_smile:

WOWW!! This is amazing! Just checked it out! Thanks! :shock:

Awesome job! A lot of people will be very thankful for this. You should put up a donate button somewhere, or add a menu item that links to a donate page, I’m sure some people would like to thank you for this with some cash.

Hey,

Nice package, thank you for sharing! I just noticed a visual bug. When you run a movie on youtube and scroll only the flash video will scroll (tested in editor). As soon as the video left the visible area scrolling works again…

xad

Edit:
It also seems that the custom hardware cursor is not resetted properly when stopping the simulation.

Thanks xad for the testing. The two problems are fixed and the new packages are uploaded!

So have a try!

Sweet, now I can design my hud in html

very nice work indeed.
i tested a live video stream from the net through flash app and it also works, only the sound from the stream keeps coming in after i’ve stopped the scene. Maybe some thread that keeps running.

Any chance of this being made for us Unity OSX users?

appels,

You can add some code in UnityWebView class to clean up the webivew after stop the Unity Game.
void OnApplicationQuit()
{
UnityWebCore.DestroyView(m_TextureID);
}

Also you can download the lastest package for the update.
Thanks for the complain:)

What rendering engine does it use? The one in IE?

12

Currently we don’t have the plan.
In my mind, there might not be many users because OSX application should be convinient instead of extensible.

13

Webkit!

14

wasn’t realy complaining lol, it’s a great tool.
I’ll grab the update.

15

Then why isn’t it on osx?

16

yep that fixed it, thanks :slight_smile:

17

OH man that looks cool. One question though, I know it was not in you feature list but does other types of input work? Like mic, webcam, typing ect.

18

King,

Actually this plugin embeds one web browser into Unity. So all the flash application which can run in common web browsers shall also work via this plugin.

So just go ahead to test your mic, webcam and other application…:smile:

19

Yes, if we can hear more voice shouting for the osx version, we can make the plan!:slight_smile:
