    Testing Flash applications with Twist
    Body:

    We've received queries regarding testing Flash applications with Twist.

    Twist uses a piece of software called a driver to run your tests. Simply put a driver is a piece of software which drives your tests. In the context of testing web applications, a driver typically embeds or opens up a browser and issues commands to the Application Under Test running inside the browser.

    Twist ships with Selenium 0.9.2 and Sahi drivers for testing web applications.

    To test Flash applications with Twist, the Flash Selenium driver must be used. Flash Selenium is available at http://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/ There are instructions on the site that help you setup and going ( at a standalone driver level ) 

    To use Flash Selenium with Twist , please follow the instructions at http://www.thoughtworks-studios.com/twist-agile-test-automation/2.0/help/how_do_i_use_other_selenium_versions_with_twist.html 

    The Flash Selenium driver is not supported by ThoughtWorks Studios. 

    NOTE: For testing Flex applications there is Flex Selenium - http://code.google.com/p/flex-ui-selenium/

      Hi manish,

      If you would have any experience about Flex with selenium IDE recording please shared it with me. I tried using  http://code.google.com/p/flex-ui-selenium/  URL, did all required installation, even I am getting the separate names to object from flex area. Just wanted to know how can I used them in selenium IDe recording? Is Flex Explorer button could help me ragards to it?
