    Because Flash is horrible closed eco-system.

     

    As a general rule, automation tools need to be using a debug version of it to do anything much beyond co-ordinate based clicking.

     

    It's explained in the SmartBear docs: https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/69152/

     

    (And I'm not sure .... but I have a feeling the debug version/engine isn't free?)

        It's free? (Wasn't sure on that point)

         

        That's handy to know. I have a few sites I run scripts on outside work which are Flash based. I may have a look into this!
