Implementing stageWebView in GestureWorks TouchSprite - actionscript-3

Question

I am attempting to create a component in a GestureWorks AIR application that renders a stageWebView in a touchsprite container. Given the stageWebView is not a display object is this possible?
Below is the code:
package view
{
import com.gestureworks.core.GestureWorks;
import com.gestureworks.core.TouchSprite;
import com.gestureworks.events.GWGestureEvent;
import com.modestmaps.Map;
import com.modestmaps.events.MapEvent;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.media.StageWebView;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class webView extends TouchSprite
{
private var urlAddress:String = "http://google.com";
public var stageWebView:StageWebView = new StageWebView();
private var ts:TouchSprite;
public function webView()
{
super();
init();
}
private function init():void
{
ts = new TouchSprite();
ts.width = 500;
ts.height = 500;
ts.x = 200;
ts.y = 100;
ts.rotation = 45;
ts.scaleX = 0.5;
ts.scaleY = 0.5;
ts.gestureEvents = true;
ts.disableAffineTransform = false;
ts.gestureList = { "n-drag":true, "n-scale":true, "n-rotate":true };
ts.addEventListener(GWGestureEvent.DRAG, gestureDragHandler);
ts.addEventListener(GWGestureEvent.ROTATE, gestureRotateHandler);
ts.addEventListener(GWGestureEvent.SCALE, gestureScaleHandler);
if(StageWebView.isSupported == true)
{
stageWebView.stage = this.stage;
stageWebView.viewPort = new Rectangle(0,0, 500, 500);
//stageWebView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE, locationChangedHandler);
//stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
//this.stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeEvent);
getURL();
}
else
{
urlAddress = "StageWebView not supported";
}
ts.addChild(stageWebView as DisplayObject);
addChild(ts);
}
protected function getURL():void
{
stageWebView.loadURL(urlAddress);
//stageWebView.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,handleLoad);
}

No. Since StageWebView is not a display object, you can't add it to another object to be managed automatically.
You can manage it manually from the sprite--when the sprite is displayed, show the web view, when the sprite is resized, resize the web view, etc.
If your web view is covering up the entire TouchSprite once it's rendered, I'm fairly certain that your sprite won't receive gesture events--those would be handled by the native component.
