Playing back Flex tests

To play back a test, you do not need to have the browser open. QTP starts the browser for
you. You must have a generated HTML wrapper that you request from QTP. You should not
request the application's SWF file directly.
In some cases, the playback may not work as expected. This is most often due to
synchronization. For example, an effect may take longer to play back than QTP expects,
which means that while the effect is playing, QTP may be trying to move to the next step in
the script. Another problem might be if you use asynchronous methods of acquiring data,
such as a web service call. The script continues even if you have not yet received data from an
web service operation.
Solutions to these problems include putting in waits or checking if an object exists before
continuing. For more information, see "Resolving playback synchronization issues"
on page 24.
