Mouse Events
There are also mouse events. These are useful if you want to click through transparent areas of the browser or need the mouse position. See the topdown demo in the download area.
Android and IOS
Since plugin version 1.5 Android and IOS are supported.
On desktop systems (Windows, Mac and Linux) is the in UE4 implemented web browser (CEF) used.
Android and IOS are using the in their OS integrated browsers. Therefore UE4 does not provide an interface to execute javascript in UE4.
To work around this problem I have integrated a small websocket server into the plugin. My javascript framework connects to it. Thus a Javascript to UE4 communication is possible. Be sure to use the correct HTMLMenuUE4Connector.js file. Android and IOS should be recognized automatically and the communication should be set automatically to Websockets.
A special permission must be set on newer Android versions to start the websocket server.
