Thanks all, I've been speaking with vendors and it seems they really didn't have a clue what flash can do these days...During a webex I had asked that they run their product against the petstore. Generally the comment is, "wow, it's amazing what u can do with flash these days..." hehe
Quick Test pro for example records your interaction with your movie, add "checkpoints" at particular steps that can analyze any object in the DOM. For instance, if a drop down item count changes or a bitmap image is missing...or specific text isn't on the page. The problem with testing flash is that only the player instance itself is available to the recorder...which kind of sucks. Meaning I can't put in a "checkpoint" that looks at the records of a datagrid or combo box. Although, you can read flash runtime variables, check the current frame (even send the movie to a different frame)....so some automation is certainly possibly. Are MM currently working with any vendors on getting better Flash support in these tools? Thanks for the info!

Stacy, I asked around internally and found that the Macromedia QA team did use SilkTest to some extent, but ended up having the best luck with some custom tools.
