Automated Flash Testing with C#

I am trying to write some software for automated testing of flash contained within webpages.

Specifically I am looking for assistance with 'hooking' onto a webpage which is running the flash and gaining access to the controls and events it uses so that I can simulate button clicks and then listen for the responses it produces.

Since it could be any flash movie running, I need to be able to gain access to the controls so I can try and make an educated guess as to which ones I need to simulate clicking.

I need it to be free or perhaps open source hopefully with examples ideally in a .net technology.

Can anyone offer assistance or examples, please?

Many thanks

There is Ruby library called FlashWatir. Not exactly what you were looking for, but close.

First, Flash pages can be manipulated with JavaScript. For a reference on this see: http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash/scriptingwithflash_06.html

You can write something in C# or use Selenium (open source) to test the whole thing with some scripting. Selenium Remote Control has support for DotNet.

Hope this helps.
