WebBox Objects

WebBox object is a small window that acts as a web browser and can be inserted into your Flying Popcorn projects. You can use it to load HTML (*.htm or *.html) documents that are on the web or on your computer. In this way, you can connect your projects to the web or even create your own custom web browser. Add multiple WebBoxes to load multiple web pages onto a single Flying Popcorn page.

You can navigate through HTML documents and edit them directly in Flying Popcorn by using the WebBox In-Place Editing mode. These editing modes also allow you to choose which document you want to load. For more information on editing documents, see Editing web pages with the WebBox In-Place Editing mode. For more information on navigating web pages, see Navigating web pages with the WebBox In-Place Editing mode.
