Hi Jeff,
I've found out that you contacted the TestComplete Support Team. Let me share their reply with our Community members:
I've found some examples on the Internet:
Both the examples represent the Flex applications which are specially supported by TestComplete (please refer to the "Testing Flash and Flex Applications" help topic (
http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/26905/) for details). In my environment, TestComplete managed to expose all objects containing text as separate objects. Thus, I recommend that you make sure you have chosen one of the approaches of those supported by TestComplete to test the Flex applications (please refer to the "Which Testing Approach to Choose" help topic (
http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/29933/) to learn more).
