TestComplete not able to detect Flash control in windows application

Hi

I am testing windows application which contains Flash controls on it. One Flash control displays a number which varies with time. But when i put the Object spy for reading its name, Fulllname of the control containing the number which is on it. As the number on that control is varying, TestComplete is not detecting that control  after some time.



Someone Please help me in this regard

    Hello Siddhardha,

    To improve the recognition of objects containing variable parts in their names or captions, you can use the asterisk (*)  and the question mark (?) wildcards. The asterisk wildcard corresponds to a string of any length (including an empty string). The question mark corresponds to any single character (including none).

    See the Using Wildcards topic for details and samples.
