There is a known issue with the sdk 3.5 automation swcs which have come with the flash builder 4 release http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXENT-1183 .This fix has been made and all you will need to do is download the 3.5 sdk automation swcs from here  and use them instead of the ones that come with the flash builder 4 release.

After a long discussion with HP we have come up with a solution.Just follow the below steps and you’re good to go

1. Enter regedit in the command prompt.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
3. Right click on the SOFTWARE folder and go to permissions
4. Click on Power Users and give full control.
5. Reboot your machine.

As of now to access a cell value this is what you will need to do

1. Use selectIndex to choose the particular row
2. Use GetROProperty(“selecteditem”) to get the entire contents of that row
3. Using the split function you can then split the row contents to the contents of each cell using | as the delimiter

 Please find the sample code below

 Browser(“Browser”).FlexApplication(“dg”).FlexPanel(“DataGrid Control Example”).FlexDataGrid(“dg1″).SelectIndex 0

RowContents  =Browser(“Browser”).FlexApplication(“dg”).FlexPanel(“DataGrid Control Example”).FlexDataGrid(“dg1″).GetROProperty(“selecteditem”)

CellContents =Split(RowContents,”|”,-1)

msgbox CellContents(0)

msgbox CellContents(1)

msgbox CellContents(2)

Hope this helps!

List of Spark Components made automation ready for Beta 2

1. Application 
2. Button  
3. CheckBox 
4. Panel
5. Radio Button 
6. ScrollBar
7. TextArea
8. Text Input
9. VGroup
10. HGroup
11. RichEditableText
12. Slider
13. NumericStepper

Also we will need to specify that Automation of these Spark Components is currently supported only for Flex applications.

Users interested in trying this new feature will need to include flash_builder_root\sdks\4.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation\automation_spark.swc along with the other automation swcs in the additional compiler arguments.

We are currently working with QTP to get this sorted out but till then here is a workaround which you can use.

1.Copy the TeaFlex.xml from Flex folder present inside the Flex plugin for QTP folder and the TeaFlex_AIR.xml from the AIR foder also present inside the same Plugin folder.

2.Place these xml files under the C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\dat\Extensibility\TEA folder within the QTP10 installation.

 3.Then type regedit in the command prompt and open the registry.

4.Then you need  to add string value “C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\dat\Extensibility\TEA” to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\MicTest\StepInformationManager\TypeInfoFiles node in the registry.

5.Once you do this restart QTP and you will notice that the code hinting appears

So lets say you want to automate dragdrop from desktop onto the AIR app or you would like to minimize/ maximize the AIR Application window this is how to go about it.

1.Just go to Automation->Record and run Settings and click on the Window Application tab.

2.Now select the first radio button ie Record and run test on any open windows based application.

Perform the required action outside the AIR app and then switch back to the 2nd option in the Windows application tab.
