Is there a way to communicate with flex element by label?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In my flex code, i have a button which has no id but has label only.
The click API expects an id of element to be clicked. Is there a way to 
click with a label?

I don't think so. You must inform an ID. Why can't you put an id? Is this an 
alert?

OK.
This is a preexisting code which I will be testing.

To add id, we will have to go through all the code to see wherever its missing 
id and rebuild it.

Thanks for the info.

No problem. I will remove this issue (since it's not an issue :)

Is there a way to click with an alert-yes?
I don't know how to identify the component.
Thank you .

In the case where there is only one option available you can dismiss the Alert 
window
with the default invocation:

flashApp.call("doFlexAlertResponse", "", "");

(Example below)

This is kind of cheating. It relies on the Alert having window focus and 
sending a
blank string as the action. That means it doesn't actually look for which 
button to
click, it just sends a Mouse.click().

Example (my apologies if the formatting is messed up):

boolean checkForAlertPopup() {

    boolean alertExists = false;
    String alertPresent = flashApp.call("getFlexAlertPresent", "", "");

    if (alertPresent.equals("true") ) {
        logger.error("Alert window is present"); 
        logger.error("alert text present: " + flashApp.call("getFlexAlertText", "", ""));
        String clickOK = "";
        try {
            clickOK = flashApp.call("doFlexAlertResponse", "", "");
        } catch (Exception e) { 
            logger.debug("error: " + e.getMessage());
            logger.debug("error: " + e.getCause());
        } 
        logger.debug("clickOK = " + clickOK);
        assertEquals("Clicked 'OK' button: ", "true", clickOK);     
        alertExists = true;
    } else {
        logger.info("AlertPresent? " + alertPresent);
    }
    return alertExists;
}
