Hi Do,
In the following example a flash application running in the IE will be automated. A Radiobutton, Checkbox and Button will be clicked.
1. Open following url in the IE:
http://flash-creations.com/notes/swf/v2 ... _final.swf
2. Finding the browser in a C# Application
Code: Select all
Form form = Application.FindFormTitle("Internet Explorer",SearchMatchMode.MatchSubstring);
if ( form == null )
{
Console .WriteLine("Cannot find application Internet Explorer");
return 1;
}
form.Activate();
Code: Select all
Element el = form.Element.FindChild(Role.Client, null, "MacromediaFlashPlayerActiveX");
Code: Select all
Element jumpButton = el.FindChild(Role.PushButton, "jump");
Mouse.ClickElement(jumpButton, MouseButtonType.LeftButton, new Point(10, jumpButton.Size.Height / 2), 1, 500);
Element makeSmallerButton = el.FindChild(Role.PushButton, "make smaller");
Mouse.ClickElement(makeSmallerButton, MouseButtonType.LeftButton, new Point(10, 10), 1, 500);
Element doItButton = el.FindChild(Role.PushButton, "Do It");
Mouse.ClickElement(doItButton);
I hope it helps you!
Maybe RanorexRecorder helps you...

Hello,
Thank you very much for your help, do you have any ideas to automate click on ComboBox in Flash, to make Ranorex consider them as push button ?

Hi,
To click on elements of a ComboBox you have to drop it down first. After that the elements are "visible" and you can find them.
You have to navigate with the TAB key to the ComboBox and press CTRL + DOWN to drop it down. I'm sorry but i think this is the only way to drop down a flash ComboBox.
1. Open the same sample flash application as described above
2. Find the Flash app in the IE and navigate to the ComboBox
Code: Select all
Control flash = form.FindClassName("MacromediaFlashPlayerActiveX");
flash.Focus();
flash.SendKeys("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}^{DOWN}");
Code: Select all
Application.Sleep(200);
Element johnButton = flash.Element.FindChild(Role.PushButton, "John");
Mouse.ClickElement(johnButton);
Hope it helps!

Hi everyone,
It's the first time, I heard about "Ranorex". I read on Wikipedia that's a Windows GUI to make software developpement easier.
I'm ready to install and test it if it can help me.
Could you say me if it's possible to register and handle Flash events ?
Is it possible to cast or "transform" the flash "Element" to an object of type 'ShockwaveFlash' (.NET object, provided by Adobe) ?
If I can get this object, I can then register to flash events...
I hope someone will respond and help me please
Cheers,
Jack, FRANCE

Jack,
Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment.
The upcoming Ranorex 2.0 will have support for flash/flex testing.
