Subject: Re: [wtr-general] Re: Flash with watir Also, keep in mind that FlashWatir is not a universal solution to testing Flash. It can only see the functions that the Flash app chooses to expose to JavaScript. So testing a random app on the web isn't likely to work; testing an in-house app will require talking to your developers about exposing the needed functions.
