What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

-:Expecting selenium will call all the flash functions through the test by 
invoking external interfaces functions instead i am getting errors below:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

 I first tried and declared the flash object as: 
 flashApp = new FlashSelenium(selenium, "clickcolors");

then again with coloredSquare as i saw somewhere they asked to change:
  flashApp = new FlashSelenium(selenium, "coloredSquare");

 But both gave me the same error.

Now after adding a new flash selenium jar file, the coloredSquare as id is 
recognizing and my test is running because i can see in the console that 
flashApp.percentageloaded() function is working. But the external interfaces 
function is not working and i am getting error like this:

10:25:32.484 INFO - Command request: getEval[this.browserbot.findElement("colore
dSquare").getColor('GREEN');, ] on session e76df00dc80a4ff998f41d449b68f200

find error.]. on session e76df00dc80a4ff998f41d449b68f200

Can anyone help me out on this?

Even I am facing the same issue
the code is

Selenium.ISelenium selenium;
            selenium = new Selenium.DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta",
"http://www.geocities.com/paulocaroli/flash/colors.html");
            selenium.Start();
            selenium.Open("http://www.geocities.com/paulocaroli/flash/colors.html");

            FlashSelenium.FlashSelenium flashApp = new
FlashSelenium.FlashSelenium(selenium, "coloredSquare");   
// or clickcolors 

  Assert.AreEqual("100", flashApp.PercentLoaded());

An exception is throws :(for both clickcolors and colourSquare)
15:45:36.396 INFO - Got result: ERROR: Threw an exception:
window.document.coloredSquare is undefined on session 
a8c892b19da4438dbe28b6c50215441e

Does any one have any solution

Merging this issue with issue # 31.

NPObject error can be handled with the workaround specified in issue #31
