Hello,Having implented Flash injector, at times duplicate objects (particullarly when object browser is refreshed) are seen as shown in the attached snap shot.Is this a known behaviour or is it controllable? Also FYI object highlighter does not identify items in rool level, pointing out in case this is linked to any issue that can help to sort out.Thanks,Stan

Hi Stanley,To help us investigate the situation, please check the value of the uniqueID property of both Object("App") objects and post these values here.Note that this property is hidden by default in the Object Browser. To view it, enable the Show hidden properties option in TestComplete's Options dialog.Thanks in advance,Ann

Hi Ann!Thanks for looking into this. Both the uniqueIDs are same with value ms__id1.

Hi Stanley,Thanks for letting me know the property values. To investigate the problem, we need to reproduce the behavior you describe. Please contact our Support Team and send them a sample application and TestComplete project they can use to reproduce the problem.Also, send them the following information:1. Your operating system.2. Version of TestComplete you are using.3. Version of Internet Explorer4. Version of Adobe Flash Player.Thanks,Ann

Hi Ann,What is your comment on the uniqueID value being same, while you have expected different values? I will be glad for an investigation, but at the moment I am not sure how far that is possible.Actually I was worried for seeing the duplicates and need to know why two Object("App")? But however with one of these highlighter works and the playback isn't a problem too so far. The real problem is when I see duplicate objects in different level (see attached), I did try FindAllChildren but unable to trace the item that I require, also tried constructing the properties that conditionally validating to retrieve the item required, which also failed.I would like to add another question here, to possibly try in another way. Is it possible to construct FullName with different properties? Currently Parent.ObjectType(ObjectLabel) can I customize to make use of Parent.ObjectType(Id)... Also please comment on why Object Spy does not identify items in root level, is this a known issue with Flash Injector approach?Thanks!Stan

Hi Stanley,

The same uniqueID value means that TestComplete's behavior is actually incorrect. I guess, your issue with the ObjectSpy may be related to this problem. However, we need to analyze your application. If we reproduce the behavior, we would be able to fix the problem.

According to your snapshot, you are using TestComplete 8, right? Could you please install a TestComplete 9 trial version and check whether the problem occurs in it?

Is it possible to construct FullName with different properties

No, you cannot customize it. Use the NameMapping feature to specify the custom set of identification properties for your objects.

Please let me know whether the problem with duplicating objects occurs in TestComplete 9.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Ann!

I have found a solution for MoreDuplicates.JPG.... but for snap.JPG I think that can be a TC issue...

FindAllChildren works :) but I need to pass through a double filter.... I work with TC 8.5!

Thanks for your interest!

Hi Smadar,

Could you please check whether the same behavior is reproduced in TestComplete 9.20 - the latest product version?

If it is, our R&D team should investigate this.
