Flex Button Support

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.

Information in this topic applies only to web tests that implement the classic approach. In cross-platform web tests, TestComplete recognizes third-party controls as standard web controls.

About Support

TestComplete can recognize Flex Button controls in Flex applications. It provides special properties and methods that let you retrieve the controls data and simulate user actions on the controls (see below).

Instances of the following classes and their descendants are recognized by TestComplete as Flex Button controls:

• mx.controls::Button

• spark.components::Button

Supported Versions

Supported component versions: Adobe Flex ver. 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.5, 4.6; Apache Flex ver. 4.9 - 4.14.

Requirements

Support for the Flex Button controls is implemented by the Web Testing plugin. This plugin is installed and enabled automatically as part of the TestComplete Web module.

If you experience issues when working with the controls, select File > Install Extensions from the TestComplete main menu and check whether the plugin is active. (You can find the plugin in the Web group.) If the plugin is not available, run the TestComplete installation in the Repair mode.

Recognizing Custom Controls

Members
