Is it possible to automate flash apps and games

Hi,
Im really new to flash. I only just started learning about it today.
I was wondering if its possible to automate games and apps that have been written in flash.
For example.
Suppose a simple card game was written in flash. To automate it I would need to
-read all of the values of all labels on the screen.
-figure out the location and identity of active objects like buttons and text boxes.
I suppose these values could be passed to some kind of executable flile running outside the browser
which would then move the mouse and click the buttons as desired.
Mabey there is a better way of doing this ?
I tried running flash apps in Firefox with firebug and fireflash installed to see if I could see what was going on inside
the flash files. It didn't work. Mabey debugging has to be enable inside the files themselves which is no use if they are owned
by somebody else.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction here. Is it possible to automate a gmae somebody else has written in flash ?.
Mark.

SWF file is a compiled code. This means that it comes in form of encrypted code and needs its own interpreter - Flash player plugin. As Ned said, no other program can see compiled code. Browser sees only <object> and it positions it according to DOM architecture. Firebug is a proxy that is capable to display network requests along with DOM architecture, JS, and CSS. Firebug has no access to SWF code either.
If your question is about how to expose particular parts of your application - the way to do that is to implement traces inside Flash. These traces can be output in some debugging software (for instance FlashTrace) at runtime. But, again, these tools cannot see more than traces.

  • Is it possible to automate wifi "on" and "off" based on geofencing

    Is it possible to automate wifi “on” and “off” based on geofencing so that it only turns on wifi when I am at home?  I  don’t want it connecting to Karma/pineapple router at Starbuck’s?  If I understand correctly when wifi is turned “on” my phone is constantly probing and asking networks if they are my home network and Karma will respond that it is.  I’m not sure how Karma handles WPA If my Phone expects the network to be secure,  but I don’t want my phone handing out my e-mail password, so I’d feel better if it automatically switched to cellular when I leave the house.

    thanks again

    You can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.

  • Can I make a Living by developing apps and games for iOS??

    Well, I want to be an iOS developer. I'm a beginner. I just want to know if I could make a living just by developing apps and games for iPhones and iPads?? In about next 5 years, I'll be able to submit my first game. I have my own problems. But can I make a living??

    Some devs do quite well, others find it barely worth the effort. Anything is possible, but as noted, it all depends on you.

  • Lost some app and game data when restoring iPad 1 backup to iPad 2

    Very disappointingly, when I restored my iPad 1 backup to my iPad 2, I lost some but not all apps and games save data etc.
    Some of that stuff took hours!
    Any way of recovering it? Why would it affect some and not others, I wonder.

    The same thing happened to me.  All apps loaded (though I lost my folders), but not of the data.  I was almost done with Angry Birds, and now I'm back at square one.  ggrrrrr....

    If you are referring to apps and games for an iPod touch, this Apple article says you can just re-download them again (at no cost).

  • If I upgraded my iPad 2 to version 5.1, will my apps and game progress lost?

    If I upgraded my iPad 2 to version 5.1, will my apps and game progress lost?

    If you copy all your purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, then the update will be able to restore your apps and their content and settings back to the iPad after installing iOS 5. Before starting the update you should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Nokia 303 social app missing. "apps and games" cra...

    I had problems with my nokia 303 s40 phone. Everytime i'll open "apps and games" phone crashed and reboot. Now i can't access my installed games and applications. And also Social app is missing which is a built in on the phone. please help

    Connect your phone to a computer & select Nokia Suite mode. If you do not have Nokia Suite on your pc you can download it from here. Now open the Nokia Suite & click on the “green icon of arrow pointing downwards”.
    If any updates are available they will be shown in ‘green’. If not you may reinstall the current version. Reinstall option is shown in ‘blue’. If no option to reinstall is shown, please wait for sometime it will become visible.  Then the Nokia Suite will download the new software version of the phone. After it you will be prompted to take a complete back up of the device content. Please do not skip this step as reinstallation will erase all the personal data from the phone like contacts, messages, calendar entries etc. But when restoring the backup do not restore settings.
    Please note that if you have set a memory card password & you have forgotten its code then take a backup of the card data also as the card will be locked after update and can only be unlocked if you enter the correct code or by ways mentioned in this thread.
    Also note that while updating the device ensure the following things-
    The device is full charged.
    The internet connection Is of good speed & has a backup in case of power loss.
    The PC should also be connected to back up power source as if the process is interrupted the phone may go dead. More on update failure & its remedies here.
    Please do not run any resource intensive programs in the background while updating as it may freeze the PC which in turn will lead to a dead device.
    Ignore all the windows pop-up notifications about device being disconnected.DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE UNTIL UPDATE IS COMPLETED.
    It will be better if you disable security keyguard & PIN code request before proceeding with Update/Reinstallation.
    Sometimes the device may show Test Mode. Do not panic & DO NOT remove the cable. Let the process complete.
    Also check out this video on YouTube with instructions for update.
    If problem persists, please visit the nearest authorised Nokia Care Centre. This is because at nokia care software updating is done by different means as mentioned by armagon in this thread
    Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.
