Mike,   Alistair McLeod wrote a tutorial to using FlexUnit *way* back when, which you can find here:   http://www.flashmagazine.com/html/863.htm   The discussion of "testing UI components" is a different one; generally, we would advocate that if something is testable, you try and extract that functionality into ActionScript classes that can be individually tested.  If your testing requirements are at the "mouse click" level, then you start to drift from the world of unit-testing to the world of automated testing.   Hope this helps,   Steven   Steven Webster Practice Director (Rich Internet Applications) Adobe Consulting Westpoint, 4 Redheughs Rigg, South Gyle, Edinburgh, EH12 9DQ, UK p: +44 (0) 131 338 6108 m: +44 (0) 7917 428 947  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Schmalle Sent: 13 June 2006 13:01 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: FlexUnit question Steven, Is there any 'planned' tutorial like projects in the future that really help those that semi-understand unit testing but are having a hard time creating tests for components? IE UI components. I have read in the book 'Refactoring' about these tests but, swinging from an application like test to component test seems to warp my head.
