I am actually a ways into developing an in house extension to Flex for Selenium. I looked for others doing the same a couple months back (Sept/Oct) and found none. Can you direct me to the others you have found doing this?
We are going to approach this with management again after the New Year but I am not sure how much support we will get to open sourcing our work. The ruby stuff looks cool but if would definitely require the Flex Builder 3 or Flex 3 SDK as in 2.0.1 of the past, the automation package is not 'free' and requires a license. Sounds like the 2.0.2 SDK in Flex Builder 3 has the automation package available for free which is interesting but a couple months back I couldn't find enough information to do much with the automation package so I went a different route.
