If you are trying to use the application hosted on t35.com, use "coloredSquare" 
instead of "clickcolors" and see if that works.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash_selenium_03.html
Per this I should be using id="clickcolors", but you asked to use 
name="clickcolors"
can you please clarify in details on this.

view source for the hosted site is as below

I am having the same exact issue as vikram.silk using the instructions from 
adobe.

I tried "coloredSquare" as suggested and got:

"ERROR: Threw an exception: Element ColoredSquare  not found on session 
9e6c527200e34541ac6e1bad18986394"

I have tried this with both FF 3.0.17 and 3.5.7.

I understand that this function that is listed as part of the ActionScript 
'should' 
make the callbacks available, but I can't figure out how to verify they are OR 
if any 
are available.  Is there a method to show the calls that exist?  See function 
from 
Adobe's site below:

public function ColoredSquare() {
      currentColor = COLOR_HEX_VALUES[currentColorIndex % 3];
      updateButtonLabel();
      drawButton();
      addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked);

      // functions available for JavaSript calls
      ExternalInterface.addCallback("getColor", getColor);
      ExternalInterface.addCallback("click", changeColor);
      ExternalInterface.addCallback("getSquareLabel", getSquareLabel);
      ExternalInterface.addCallback("setSquareLabel", setSquareLabel);
    }

Hi Ethan,
instead of "ColoredSquare" use "clickcolors" to run the script properly.

But my latest doubts are something different which is about the id

Thanks,
Vikram
