Flex Class Reference

Lists the available classes for testing Flex controls. You can also customize Silk Test to test custom controls.

For additional information about the classes, see the Apache Flex Developer's Guide.

Note: Any known problems with Flex and Flex classes can be reproduced in Silk Test. For instance, dragging and dropping an element that uses the FlexChart class may not work if a chart element is clicked near its edges before you start dragging the element. This results in a failed replay because the drag start coordinates can be incorrect. This is a known issue with dragging and dropping in Flex. For details about known issues with Flex, see the Apache Flex Release Notes.

Note: The FlexTitleWindow class is recorded and recognized by Silk Test as a FlexPanel (although it is defined as a separate class). This is a known issue in Flex. For details about known issues with Flex, see the Apache Flex Release Notes.
