    Hi Kiran,


     


    What approach are you using to test Flex apps? Please pay attention to the fact that, depending on the approach you are using, the app should be compiled in a proper way or some additional Flex settings should be set.

Hi Kiran,


 


You are using different technologies to recognize your Flex app in the browsers: IE uses TestComplete's approach, but Firefox uses MSAA. 


You need to make TestComplete work properly with the Flex objects in Firefox. For this, first of all, disable the * MSAA option - there is no need to use it. After that, please make sure that a patch for Firefox 25 is installed on your computer. You can download the patch here.


 


Does applying the patch help?
