Loadtest - Automate Clicking A Button On A Flash Menu?
Jul 30, 2010
I would like to be able to click a button on a flash menu, programmatically.
This means, unfortunately, that tabbing over to it or hard-coding the X and Y coordinates of the button will not work (due to using multiple threads, neither of these approaches works while running in the background).
I tried doing this with Javascript, but automating it that way does not work because the individual items are inaccessible in Flash.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm attempting to load-test our application which interacts with a flash menu in order to build a report. From what I can tell, the low-end or open-source load-testing utilities don't offer much support in the way of flash navigation.
I am having problem with flash main menu it reloads when ever you click a different button to another page on it. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. Is there any codes that can create some kind of cache so we can open next page without reloading flash? Site: replace (dot) with "." please [URL]
I have a problem with my slideshow script. I have embedding a flash video file into my website with this slideshow called monoslideshow, and everything seems to work perfectly. Trouble is, when I am clicking on another menu button that should jump to another frame, it still keeps playing the video and sound while displaying the new menu data.So I will probably need some code that stops the video instantly, when another menu button is clicked. But how do I write it and where do I put it?
Here is my actionscript for the video file to show:
var loaderSlide:Loader = new Loader(); var monoslideshow:Object; loaderSlide.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete); addChild(loaderSlide);
[Code]...
It would be great to get a solution to this problem, otherwise my website will be kinda messy ;)
I am using actionscript 3 to make a point and click game. On frame 1 there are two buttons, button 1 and 2. On frame 3 there are two buttons, button A and B. I want it so that after I click button 1 on frame 1, button A on frame 3 will be hidden or when I click button 2 on frame 1, button B on frame 3 will be hidden. The buttons that are hidden do not do anything when you click them.
I'm making my new photography site, and it's going to be entirely in flash. I'm an intermediate flash person, but there is something I'd like to do with my menu that I can't figure out how to do. I'm going to have 4 buttons:
Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script> <![CDATA[ // Import the Menu control. import mx.controls.Menu;
I have two div layers in an html page. Is there a way to hide or show them by clicking a button in flash? I have searched online and haven't been able to find something that works.
I think the title is self explanatory... anyway, I wanna make my buttons do a cool animation (like roll away or explode) but until AFTER they're clicked,
I want to target multiple buttons and get different value by clicking different button.
Suppose there are 3 buttons: "button01", "button02, "button03".
This is my code:
var targetArr:Array = ["button01","button02","button03"]; for (var i:int = 0; i < targetArr.length; i++) { var target = getChildByName(targetArr[i]);
[Code]....
Instead of getting different value by clicking different button, I constantly get "3" as the value. I want: clicking "button01" will get "0" as the value, clicking "button02" will get "1" as the value, and clicking "button03" will get "2" as the value. How to do it?
Normally I'd not post my questions in this forum but this is a exeption .Anyway how can i prevent the menu from showing up when right clicking the mouse button in flash runtime?EDIT: I learned that it's not possible to completely hide it in as3, but it's possible in as2 though, or when using html. You however can hide everythng in that list except for "settings" and "show redraw regions"
My Flash animation is basically similar to this link provided by Adobe Developers.The Flash is about star moving in depth space to makes the star looks alike in 3D.I am going to implement the button to change the color of that object (star).I'm creating 3 new symbols and draw each a rounded-square button filled with red, green and blue respectively.So, I wish to click that button when running, and when I select red button, the star will changing to red color for all.
I've seen a tutorial for changing the background inside of flash based on buttons to click. However, these colors were palettes and not of backgrounds such as jpeg. What I'd like to do is to create 3 buttons and place them on my flash website. These three buttons allow the user to click on them thus changing the background. So if you're visiting the about page and click one of these buttons, I don't want the user to go back to the home page after clicking.
Let me descibe the method of my website fuctionality first, The hole website builded with AS2, The menu of this website call external swf files with xml (each section have swf file and xml file). When I click on the first section of the menu the external swf file loaded perfectly but when I call the second one the first one appear again. I tried to clear the cache between each selection but the same problem exist.
my friend and I are trying to make a GUI for a CD that autoruns when you pop it in your computer. Now my friend can write the batch files to autorun the swf, but i guess what I'm actually asking is how to run programs or batch files from flash by clicking on a button. We tried just useing the getURL AS to link it but it doesn't run it (kinnda makes sense now...).
How to solve this error as it will keep popping out whenever I click on the play button of the game I'm creating. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/frame2() at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at index_fla::MainTimeline/clickPlay()

I was wondering if its possible to automate games and apps that have been written in flash.
For example.
Suppose a simple card game was written in flash. To automate it I would need to -read all of the values of all labels on the screen. -figure out the location and identity of active objects like buttons and text boxes.
I suppose these values could be passed to some kind of executable flile running outside the browser which would then move the mouse and click the buttons as desired.
Mabey there is a better way of doing this ?
I tried running flash apps in Firefox with firebug and fireflash installed to see if I could see what was going on inside the flash files. It didn't work. Mabey debugging has to be enable inside the files themselves which is no use if they are owned by somebody else.

I am attempting to test several web pages built in Flex, and need to automate clicking on several videos through the Flash interface. I'm using Ruby and Watir-Webdriver, but I'm not sure how to interact with Flash using them.
Is there way to simulate click on a flash application using Greasemonkey script? I need to test a flash app with lot of permutations and combinations. Traditional approach of using ExternalInterface wont work because it is too cumbersome to add the callback.
I would like to be able the batch a bunch of JPGs and turn them into simple 1 or 2 frame vector swf files. I would like to be able to use the flash trace bitmap option as it does the best at what i'm trying to do. If i where using in photoshop i would use a script to do but i don't know how for flash.
So here is an outline of what i am ultimatly trying to do.
I have a swf called "page" page has two layers to it. layer one has some buttons and AS and Layer two is empty. I would like to batch a collection of 3000 images, all jpgs, and convert them into 100% vector and insert that vector in to layer two and save that swf as "original jpg file name.swf"
I'm looking for a good solution to automate testing of a website, major parts of which are in flash/flex.
The preferred language is c#, but I wouldn't mind java, python or php if the solution on any of those languages is better (meaning, easier to write on, less bugs and more tutorials and samples).
What is the best framework around for flash automation in my case?
I want to play the music file in flash player (which is embedded obviously) by clicking the play button which is in the web page (not in flash player).
How would I do this? I've got tree buttons. Only one is supposed to be "selected" at a time. They play different animations. What I need, is to set the button (which has different bg color depending on its over, up and down state) to it's down state.
Simply put; I need to freeze the button in it's down-state when it's clicked. And when I click one of the other buttons, it's supposed to return back to its normal state, and the new button is to be frozen in it's down state.
Is there a way to automate authentication via adding the username/password in the profile XML of flash media encoder live (3.2)? I'm not referring to the command line parameters, but placing a tag in the xml file that contains the username/password for both the primary and backup server.
I would not have asked the question if I owned an iphone, but so far I only have an android phone for development.
The question is: Should I use the View.viewMenuItems that are provided by flex mobile? Or should I better embed the functionality in another way? I don't know what possibilities might exist on iphone to open the menu, because it has no hardware button "menu".
By the way: How could I open the menu in the Flash-Builder mobile device emulator - there are no buttons, too..
