The developer must set up the development environment before
enabling the Flex application for testing with Rational Functional Tester.
About this task
To set up the development environment for Flex 2.0, follow
these steps:
Note: - The automation framework is a part of Flex Builder for Flex versions
3.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.5, and therefore the following steps are
not required these versions. However, Flex 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 do not
have the automation libraries bundled. For these versions, use the
automation libraries of Flex 3.2. Copy the _rb.swc files from Flex
3.2 locale directory to the locale directory of Flex 3.3, 3.4, and
3.5 SDK.
- For data visualization in Flex versions 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 4.0, 4.1
and 4.5, make sure that you also include the datavisualization.swc
file for these versions that is available on the Adobe site.
- For Spark controls in Flex versions 4.0, 4.1 and 4.5, make sure
that you also include the automation_spark.swc file for these versions
that is available on the Adobe site.
Procedure
- Copy the automation_agent.swc file from the flex automation
installation directory/flex automation /frameworks/libs directory
to the flex builder installation/Flex SDK/frameworks/libs directory.
- Copy the automation_agent_rb.swc file from the flex
automation installation directory/frameworks/locale/en_US directory
to the flex builder installation/Flex SDK/frameworks/locale/en_US
folder.
Important: This step shows the path
for US English. When using a different locale, replace en_US with
the correct locale.
