Ranorex Forum

Hi,

I have a tiny app done in C# that hosts Adobe Flash Player ActiveX control and plays some flash content.
The Ranorex Flash instrumentation is enabled, but the automation doesn't work for the custom app. It works however when I play the same flash content in IE.

I confirmed (with process monitor) that mm.cfg and RanorexAutomation.swf both get referenced by the Flash player within my app, but it doesn't help. Ranorex Spy can't access Flash controls either (it can for IE). Is there any programmatic way to enable Flash instrumentation for my app?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi,

If you want to start it outside a browser you have to use the Ranorex Automation Lib as described in the following link.

Thanks for replying, Markus. Unfortunately I have no direct control over the Flash content.
I have ended up hosting WebBrowser object which in turn hosts Flash. There's some overhead, but that works.
