Flash Player has reached end of life on December 31, 2020. Support for Flash and Flex applications is now deprecated in TestComplete and will be removed in a future release.

The information in this topic applies to web tests that locate web objects by using internal identification properties provided by TestComplete and run in local environments.

TestComplete provides you with extended abilities for creating flexible tests for Flash and Flex applications using the helper FlexClient library. In order to test your Flash and Flex applications, you do not have to change your code in any way. You may need to perform some preparations before the testing.

Below is the list of preparations that you may need to perform before testing your Flash or Flex application. These preparations include general preparations that configure the environment and method-specific preparations that are needed to be able to get access to the application’s internals with the FlexClient helper library.

In order to prepare your Flash or Flex application for testing with the FlexClient library, go through the following steps:

1. Compile your application with the FlexClient library included

2. Configure the TestComplete project

3. Prepare a web browser

4. Set security permissions

5. Create a wrapper HTML page

Note:

In the Tips on Creating Testable Flash and Flex Applications topic you can find some additional recommendations on how to make your Flash and Flex applications more test-friendly.
