access of movieclip in flex

hi to all. for long time i was searched how to access particular movie clip from one swf in flex.finally i got the solution for that.

Once you finished the above process click the file menu export the swf  file save it some other place.

How to access created movie clip in to flex application?

Step 1:

Create new project in your flex builder.copy and paste that swf file into your project.
add one swf loader in your project give thae swf as source of the swfloader.

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
 mx:SWFLoader  id="swf_mc" source="btn_mc.swf" />
/mx:Application>



Step 2:
now open Script tag in your Application.Create var for movie clip

![CDATA[
        import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
        import mx.core.MovieClipAsset;
        import mx.controls.Alert;
       
   
        private var livinginstance:MovieClip;
        private var tab_mc:movieclip;

        private function onLoad():void
        {
         
        }
]]>
Step 3:
now right function for the  movie clip access
  private function onLoad():void
        {
            livinginstance=swf_mc.content as MovieClip;
            livinginstance.buttonMode=true;
            livinginstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClick);
         
        }

Add listener for checking access of movie clip

private function onClick(eve:MouseEvent):void
{
            Alert.show("Tab1");
}

call the onLoad() function into swf complete.

finally the application code is

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
mx:Script>
    ![CDATA[
        import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
        import mx.core.MovieClipAsset;
        import mx.controls.Alert;

        private var livinginstance:MovieClip;
        private var tab_mc:movieclip;
        private function onLoad():void
        {
            livinginstance=swf_mc.content as MovieClip;
            livinginstance.buttonMode=true;
            livinginstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClick);
        }
     
        private function onClick(eve:MouseEvent):void
        {
            Alert.show("Tab1");
        }
    ]]>
/mx:Script>
    mx:SWFLoader id="swf_mc" source="btn_mc.swf" complete="onLoad()"/>/mx:Application>
just run your application and click your movieclips .its shows alert messege.

Flex testing tools

Hi to all.here we discuss about testing tools for flex 3.

In this post i m explained how many tools we had in flex for testing our application.

basically we had many tools, but I'm shorted it.

1.Flex Unit

2.Flex Monkey

3.RIA test


Flex Monkey:

FlexMonkey is an Adobe AIR application used for testing Flex and AIR based applications. Providing the functionality to record, playback and verify Flex UI interactions, FlexMonkey also generates Action Script-based testing scripts that you can easily include within a continuous integration environment.
You can use this tool to see how user uses your application. It can log all the events like, clicks, scrollbars etc, which you can analyze later to see how user used it

For more details please refer the following links
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flexmonkey.html

RIA Test:
RIATest is a GUI test automation tool for Adobe Flex applications. RIATest does for your GUI what FlexUnit does for your code.

refer:
http://www.riatest.com/

FlexUnit:

FlexUnit is a unit testing framework for Flex and ActionScript 3.0 applications and libraries. It mimics the functionality of JUnit, a Java unit testing framework, and comes with a graphical test runner.

Here are the links to both the releases of FlexUnit
