Is it possible to use WebUI test studio to automate an application which uses flash as the front-end ?
Please advice.
Thanks

Hello Manikanta Kiran,
There is a Flash translator that will recognize Flash objects with an 'Automate' label that will appear when 'Highlighting' is enabled. Left clicking on the label will launch the Recording Context Menu from which you can record Desktop Actions, like Left Click, that will create a crosshair from which you can pinpoint where on the aboject to click. You can also Invoke Events, such as OnClick, that will do so on the Flash object.
There is also the Verification option that you can use to verifiy certain aspects of the Flash object. However, the verification may not be as fine grain as generic html tags, such as forms, or over Telerik controls, so testing would have to be over what the Flash translator is able to decern from your flash object.
Testing may not be as complete for you Flash front end compared to when testing over Telerik or html, so you may need to play with it to meet your needs, and we would appreciate any feedback you have from your Flash testing experience using WebUi Test Studio.
