using webbrowser to Interact with a Flash control?

Question

using Automation (SHDocVw, MSHTML or something else?) or a WebBrowser control: 1)Is it possible to interrogate a flash control to discover its elements? For example, " http://demo.garanti.com.tr/bireysel_demo/main.html " there are flash buttons. Can I determine there "ID"s? 2)Given the "ID" names of elements in a flash control, is it possible to click and/or select them?

Answer 1

Yes and yes. Just implement the right functionality in Flash and use ExternalInterface to call Flash methods.

Check out the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
