Flex Automation with QTP 10 (SDK 3.2 & 3.5) Error

I have been able to get very basic applications to work with the automation libraries and then with QTP.The issue I'm having is with the actual project I would like to automate. I have done all of the steps to install automation correctly and have also put the additional compiler arguments into flex. However when the application is initialzing I get the following errors:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Here are the additional compiler arguments that I put into Flex:
-include-libraries "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\automation.swc" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\automation_agent.swc" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\qtp.swc" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\automation_dmv.swc"
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I've tried using the automation APIs for 3.2 and 3.5 but both yield the same result.

The application that I'm working with uses the code-behind method of flex development. Has anyone had any issues working with QTP with a project using this method? Any information/ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

QTP Automation with Acrobat SDK

Hi,
I would like to verify the PDF content using HP Automation tool - QTP by opening the PDF and extracting the Text content from PDF.
I am trying the OLE style and using a series of commands, as described in many postings. The first one is:
CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
It throws error, saying "Cannot create ActiveX component"
From the Forums I found that it will not work with Adobe Reader and will work with Full Adobe Product with Adobe SDK.
Now I would like to know which version of Acrobat will have Acrobat SDK.
My Client already procured the below Acrobat Products.
VLA ACROBAT 10 win universal English
VLA ACROBAT 10 WIN Universal English STD to STD Upgrade ST-ST
VLA ACROBAT Pro 10 win universal English
VLA ACROBAT Pro 10 WIN Universal English STD to STD Upgrade ST-ST
Pls let me know which product( which has Adobe SDK as well) I should choose to proceed with QTP Automation.
Any Advise/Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Automation with QTP using swfobject as the wrapper

I can get my project to run correctly when I use the out of the box flex wrapper but not with swfobject.Has anyone had experience using swfobject with QTP for automation testing?
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

Ok, apparently you didn't "sort and compress IDs" like I said (out of curiosity: why not?). DO THAT. The MAX ID should be 90, MAX ID IN USE should then be 85 (with Rubiter Ate). Now, still in properties, go to the IDS pull down menu again, this time selecting "Instrument Up". This usually is for multiple instruments in one ensemble to up a certain instrument in the automation hierarchy. It seems at the time the ensemble was created, there have been more instruments (like some FX) present that got deleted later on, leaving the base ID of the remaining instrument somewhere in the 300 range (or so). However, after you did the "Instrument Up" thing, the Base ID should now be 0, which is what it should be. Put the Instrument Channel in Logic into Latch mode, start the sequencer and move the knobs. Logic should record all automation just fine (checked it here).

Flex 2 with AS 3.0: Transitions code compilation error

I just bought "The Essential Guide to Flex 2 with
ActionScript 3.0. (Friends of Ed 2007) In order to work through the
examples, I downloaded Flex 3.0 beta. Its been going well ... until
starting the exercises on transitions.
I've narrowed the problem down to the "relativeTo" attribute
of the AddChild class. This snipped builds and runs fine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="

However, as soon as I add relativeTo, e.g:

Flex Builder 2 gives me the following error:
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant.
Thinking this might have been a bug with Flex 3.0, I
uninstalled then installed the most recent release of version 2. I
still get the same problem. Any ideas?

Another possibility is that you used some kind of transition for the object but didn't name it in all of the keyframes. When you transition an object in a timeline tween and don't name it in the first keyframe, the latter keyframes adopt that lack of a name event though you might assign a name in them.
What you should do is go into your Publish Settings and in the Flash section select the option to Permit Debugging. This will add a line number following the frame number in the error message. Once you know which line is causing the problem, try tracing the object that is in that line. You will most likely find out it is null, and it will be because of one of the reasons I've mentioned (I don't think I forgot any others, but it's possible).

Flex Automation issue

Hi All,
I am facing one issue reagrding flex automation.with the trial version of flex builder,is it possible to have all the classes related automation?
when I am trying to use mx.aumation package lots of classes are missing.Can anybody guide me as to how to achieve this?

May I know what you mean exactly by "Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Have you entered Flash builder premium license key in the screen that asks for serial number? If so, it will be Flash Builder Premium version 4.0 and not Standard version any more.
If so, automation should work without any issue.
To check whether premium features are enabled for your version of Flash Builder, please open "Network Monitor" using Window > Show View and see if it is enabled.
If it is disabled, it shows a message that premium license is required.
Please confirm.

No Flex Charts with SDK 3.5

Hi guys. I am experiencing a problem with not being able to use Flex's chart components with sdk 3.5
I have Flex Builder Professional.
Charts work with the 3.0 and 3.2 SDK but not 3.5
Am I missing something?

I found out that the library is not bundled with the SDK itself and has to be downloaded separate. I downloaded the library here http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flex/sdk/datavisualization_sdk3.5.zip

Issue with child items of flex tree using QTP

Hi,
We are trying to automate Flex web application using QTP10.
We are facing below issue with Flex tree when we try to automate a scenario of selecting a child item displayed in flex tree.
Issue:
On recording the step of selecting an item from Flex tree using QTP, the script displayed is .Select Index1. But when we replay it back no action is being performed.
Also on object spy we are able to navigate only till flex tree and we are not able to spy child items of flex tree.On the web page the child items are displayed as radio buttons/checkboxes.
Please provide a solution for me to this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
You could perform a HTTP trace (using HTTP watch) and compare the OCI data in POST method for both users (the correct and incorrect ones).
Perhaps there is some additional/missing information being passed from catalog to SRM.

Flex Automation API "Licensing Issue"

Hi,
We are using "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License. We are working with the automation of a Flex application. The automation tool we are using is the FlexMonkium 4.1.5.
We have some issues with the automation. I have mentioned those below:
Flex Automation API is limiting the features of the FlexMonkium 4.1.5 as this tool inherits the features and it underlies on the mechanism of the FlexAutomation API only.
Due to the above mentioned point, the dependencies are:
License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed.
License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed.
When we record the user actions performed in the application with the FlexMonkium, we are getting the error as "License not present. With the trial version only limited records are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 15 - 20 user actions have been performed.
When we execute the recorded script, it is showing up a error message as "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed."
Note: This error is thrown after 51 -20 user actions have been executed by the script.
The complete code of the application is compiled with "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License."
From the adobe forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/682958 we understood that the 4.1 SDK with Premium licence would work fine with record and playback.
My quesion is, Does the same works with this combination > "Eclipse Ganymede with Flash Builder Standard Version - 4.0 plugin" + Premium License.
Please guide me to resolve this issue, it would really be very helpful for me:)
Thanks in advance,
Anand.S

Serial number needed to try flex automation

I'm running the Flex Automation Installer to install the
plugins needed to evaluate use of QuickTest Professional for
automated Flex 2 testing. The Installer requires entry of a Flex
Data Services serial number. (The applications I want to test do
not use Flex Data Services, so this seems an odd requirement for
evaluation of the test tool.) How can I get the needed serial
number? If this requires discussion with someone at Adobe who
oversees my organization's Flex licenses, how would I determine who
that is and how to contact him or her? Is it necessary to purchase
a Flex Data Services license to evaluate QTP automated testing of
Flex 2 apps?

I have the QTP configured with Flex and I am able to record
most events. Attempting to record a mouse rollover results in the
following error : “Error: Unable to find automation method
'flash.events.MouseEvent' for class 'name: FlexImage
superClassName: FlexLoader”. My app is a simple image which
applies two states to display the image. It utilizes the
Automation.automationManager.recordAutomatableEvent method for the
target event, within the “rollover” event handler.
Also, I override the “replayAutomatableEvent(Event)”
method calling the
Automation.automationObjectHelper.replayMouseEvent() for the
MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER event. The error propagates from the MouseMove
event as reported in the stack trace –Click and ChangeFocus
also are reported. I’ve added the rollover event to the
“TEAFlex.xml” file. Its my understanding that any event
outside of those defined in the “QTP Object Type”
document for each control can be configured in the
“TEAFlex.xml” file, for any control descending from
UIComponent. I received a similar error after extending the
ProductCatalogThumbnail ( Canvas ) class contained in the flex
store code, though this error propogates from Scroll. Can you
determine why ( in the first case ), the rollover is failing?

[Automation] Differences when using Flex Automation Framework ?

Hello everyone,
I recently made some tests with Flex Automation Framework and noticed that using it slightly change the application behaviour.
First, it changes the way container intercept dans handle mouse event as expalined in Adobe JIRA ticket #791:http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-791
I'm using sdk 3.2 so it won't be fixed. However future releases (3.4+ and 4.0+) should not have this problem.
Secondly I notice that using RuntimeLoader.swf on my application remove the text of some labels I have in my login form.
This does not happen when compiling the application with automation libraries.
Does anyone experienced other bahavioural changes when using automation ?
Thank,
Olivier

Hi Olivier
The only change which we know of is the one that you rightly pointed out in bug http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-791 . There are no other behavioral changes that occur when you compile your application with automation.
With regards to your statement
Secondly I notice that using RuntimeLoader.swf on my application remove the text of some labels I have in my login form.
This does not happen when compiling the application with automation libraries.
Can you please send us a working sample of this issue as we have not come across this behavior before.

Code compiled with licensed FB Premium stops automation with error.

My setup:
Windows 7
Flash Builder 4 Premium, Version 4.0 (build 272416), volume license
SDK 4.5.1, Flex 3 compatibility mode
RIATest 4.3, RIATestAgent3.swc
See the existing thread on this in the RIATest forum. I'm "nekobasu" there:
http://www.riatest.com/forums.html?func=view&catid=9&id=4136#4136
Here's what I do:
I compile our application code in Flash Builder, including the RIATest and Flex automation SWCs. Here are the compiler flags:
-include-libraries "C:\Program Files (x86)\RIATest 4\agent\RIATestAgent3.swc" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.5.1\frameworks\libs\automation\automation.swc" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.5.1\frameworks\libs\automation\automation_dmv.swc" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.5.1\frameworks\libs\automation\automation_agent.swc"
Everything compiles fine. So, I launch RIATest, then run my automated test against the freshly compiled application. My test automatically launches our application in a browser.
The automated tests proceed normally, but after a while, a dialog/alert/message appears in our application stating, "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed." I'm using only legitimate, legal, valid licenses for Flash Builder, RIATest, and Windows. I'm not using the trial or limited version of anything. According to the folks at Cogitek, and from what I've found by searching, it is an error thrown by Flash/Flex; not by RIATest.
This problem is preventing me from doing my job.

FileInfo Custom Panel doesn't show xmp data: flex 3.6, FileInfo SDK 5.1

Just getting into XMP. Decided to make custom File Info panel for our custom xmp namespace data that will be applying to all our images in our archive.
Since still on Adobe CS 5.5, got the FileInfo 5.1 SDK. Got the Flex 3.6a package. I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.5, java version "1.6.0_37".
Compiled the "TestPanel" that comes with the SDK. That works. It has a fi:XMPTextInput item that shows the xmpPath="dc:title" dublincore xmp data, i can change it and save it and when i come back it is the changed data. When i look in the Raw fileinfo tab, it is there as i had modified it.
Now when i add a fi:XMPLabel for xmpPath="xmp:CreatorTool" no data is shown in my custom FileInfo panel. And when i add in my own custom xmp namespace data "mydata" that does not show either. The labels and textboxes are there for entering, but it appears that it is not parsing correctly to find the data to populate what is in the file already. I can type something in but it doesn't save it to the file. My custom xmp data namespace "mydata" data is showing in the Raw FileInfo panel so i know it is there, as i put it there with exiftool.
I have the required namespace lines in the mxml file for the panel:
<fi:XMPNamespaces>
<fi:XMPNamespace prefix="mydata" value="http://example.com/xmp/mydata/"/>
<fi:XMPNamespace prefix="dc" value="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"/>
<fi:XMPNamespace prefix="xmp" value="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/" />
</fi:XMPNamespaces>
The mxml file compiles and the panels load and display so it doesn't seem like it is the source files. It seems like a runtime issue. Since it does show the one dublincore xmp data it does seem like the panel is working, except for the "xmp" namespace and my "mydata" namespace. That's got to be a clue but being so new to this it is not giving me any directions to go in.
Any and all ideas are most appreciated.
Peace,
Dan

For some reason SpeedGrade updated through the Application manager. I tried downloading the updates from adobe's website but it won't install. Prelude's update fails before it can even get started whereas the extension manager does install but it doesn't seem to be updating.
I've done as much investigation as I can think of and I'd rather not create a new user just to check that out but if I have to I will. How exactly do I create a new user on a mac?

Error "Could not resolve s:ViewNavigatorApplication to a component implementation...", after overlaying with AIR SDK 13.0

Just installed FB 4.7, overlayed with AIR SDK 13.0, started FlexMobileProject and I get this error "Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation...", which I can't get rid of. Tried 3-4 times, error stays.
I overwrote the Flex sdk 4.6.0 with Air SDK 13.0.
Is this a bug? Please help.

Thanks for the reply. I tried changing to the airmobile-config.xml but then I got the same error with a different componenet.
Error: Could not resolve <r:QContainer> to a component implementation. <r:QContainer id="d">
