Flex object is not presented in object tree

Hi all,   In Test Complete project, which was written in 2013 (not by me), I see that one of the flex objects can be successfully found:   function ActionToolbar() { var oParent = MVVO_PageCo...

    I found the solution. 

    I just use page URL instead of ActionToolbar as parent object in the function 

     

    function Approve()
{
    var oParent = ActionToolbar();
    var aProps = ["Caption", "ObjectType"];
    var aVals = ['Approve', 'ToolButton'];
    
    return CFInternetBrowser.FindObjectByProperties(aProps, aVals, oParent, "Approve");
}

    and it finds both types of buttons.

     

    So I wonder why developers of this autotests used ActionToolbar as parent objects... I suggest they had reasons for it.

    But I have no problem to resolve now :)

    tristaanogre, thanks a lot!

My guess is that, for the More Actions, you need to select, potentially, either a different parent object or a different set of criteria.  Again, the object tree only shows the tree relationship.  Click on the buttons you want to access and look at their properties.  Use those to work with your find methods to find the specific buttons.
