I understand that it is a method of the IAutomationObject. But there is still something that I do not figure out.
I have created an adapter that enables me to take advantage of the automation package and replay events on a Flex application I have created. With this application all the display components have automation children. But with a mock class I have used to test the adapter, where I just create a class that extends Application and add some panels and buttons, none of those have automation children only regular children. (Both projects implements the automation.swc and automation_agent.swc. And all components are UIComponents, which implements IAutomationObject) What in Flex decides if a object has automation children or regular children?
