My company has developed a Plugin to the Web Client and our intent it to do some GUI Automation on it. The recommended strategy for automating Flex is to have some adobe automation files (automation.swc, automation_client.swc, automation_spark.swc, automation_dmv.swc) compiled into the application.
Obviously the Web Client does not have these compiled in, and we can compile our plugin with them, but for example the AdvancedDataGrid's on our custom pages are constructed with vmware grids com.vmware.widgets.controls::AdvancedDataGridEx classes so things that would help us with automation are not exposed.
There is also this idea of runtimeloading the files, however this seems like it's only valid on an application which is a single swc file.
This might not be the ideal place of this post but I have done some extensive searching and not come up with much.
Any suggestions, leads or other information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
