I used some time to get this working, but got no real success. Some googling 
revealed
that there might be some issues with flash-selenium and Firefox 3.

Maybe ... after nearly a year passed ... we should try again? :) Is there still 
a
branch with your recent trials of flash-selenium?

Testing Flash seems to be completely different from what I've done until now :) 
So if
I got it right, there's a new python class FlashSelenium [1], that offers some 
new
methods, from which most of them are of limited usefullness, based on my non 
existent
flash-knowledge :) 

Judged by the example on the flash-selenium homepage, it seems like 
PercentLoaded()
and call() seem to be important, at least that's the only methods that they use.
Interestingly, you actively have to make the methods available to javascript, 
if you
want to call them, so apparently you cannot just test any flash. Any comments?

Just some links:

Tutorial: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash_selenium.html
FlexSelenium: http://code.google.com/p/flex-ui-selenium/

I created a branch "flash-selenium" to experiment with flash-selenium:

Janne and I have investigated integrating Flex Pilot [1] with SeleniumLibrary 
and it looks pretty promising. The current code is in flex-pilot branch [2] and 
there's some more information about this in Flex Pilot mailing list [3]. We'll 
continue with this prototype next week.

Flex support in now requested also by an internal NSN user, so we decided to 
add to support in the next release.

The code is now considered ready for the release. Initial FlexTesting wiki page 
has also been created and reviewing/enhancing it is the only thing blocking 
closing this issue.

We have also updated the demo so that is contains Flex example, but the demo 
wiki page hasn't yet been updated not the updated demo package uploaded. That's 
a separate task, though.

FlexTesting page is in pretty good shape (comments still appreciated) and also 
demo has been updated (issue 170). This issue is officially DONE!!
