thats very interesting indeed.... but I would the tool to find things by instance name.... I dont like the `find the first combobox` idea, it should by the combobox referenced by instance name, ex:
flexOperator.find(`countryList`);
and thus you assert would become:
assertEquals("You selected:
MasterCard",LabelOperator(comboBoxOperator.find({id:"myLabel"})).text);
but yes, very cool indeed.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: any interest in an alternative to QTP to automate
Flex apps?
I took a look at imacros...my only concern is that it uses WINCLICK to
automate flash apps. This means everything is x/y coordinate based. We
want to interact with the actual ui components, finding them by their
properties or type. For example here is a short snippet of a simple
test we are using...I added the comments in order to explain what is
going on:
//find the first ComboBox in the app
var comboBoxOperator:ComboBoxOperator = flexOperator.find(ComboBox) as
ComboBoxOperator;
//select the option with the specified label
//upon user selection the app fires an event that sets a label component
with the text 'You selected: X'
comboBoxOperator.select("MasterCard");
//find the label with the specified properties and assert the correct
selection was made
assertEquals("You selected:
MasterCard",LabelOperator(flexOperator.find({id:"myLabel"})).text);
Thoughts?
