Configuring the nonenabled Flex application

You can configure the Flex applications that are not compiled using the Functional Tester agent and Flex automation libraries.

Configuring Runtime loader manually

The developer must set up the development environment before enabling the Flex application for testing with Rational Functional Tester.
The following steps are for Flex 3.0 applications. Configuring and testing Flex 2.0 and 3.2 applications is similar to Flex 3.0.

To configure the Runtime Loader for Flex 3.0 applications, follow these steps:

  1. Compile the RuntimeLoader.mxml to swf file using the command: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0\bin\mxmlc.exe" -include- libraries+="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0 \frameworks\libs\automation.swc;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation_agent.swc;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation_dmv.swc;%IBM_RATIONAL_RFT_INSTALL_DIR%\rftFlex3.0.swc;%IBM_RATIONAL_RFT_INSTALL_DIR%\rftProp_Flex3.0.swc" - output="C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\FunctionalTester\Flex\RuntimeLoaderFlex30.swf" "C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\FunctionalTester\Flex\RuntimeLoader.mxml".
  2. Open the RuntimeLoadingTestFlex30.html with notepad.
  3. Replace the movie source in the object and embed tags with RuntimeLoaderFlex30.swf.
