[Asunit-users] Fscommand and dynamic properties

[Dan B. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi,
 
I have developed a desktop application using c# (windows.forms) that
includes a Flash part (using activex). Communication with flash is made
through fscommands and dynamic properties (where I send some xml files). 
 
I would like to be able to unit test the flash movie standalone, not only
the application, but for this I will need to catch fscommand events and be
able to feed xml-s to the movie from the test. Would something like this be
possible? Can someone give me an example?
 
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

Unit testing an embedded SWF is absolutely possible.  AsUnit uses
LocalConnection to send data to the output panel so the panel works
properly running in the IDE or a wrapper.

I suspect that you're real task is going to be to come up with a
reliable communication gateway through wich your forms app and SWF
talk to one another.  Mike Chambers wrote a good artcle about this a
while ago.  The article is here:
