How to interrogate an Adobe Flash based website (.swf) with openspan?
The website just looks like normal website with standard controls like textbox, dropdown, radio button etc. However it has been built on Adobe Flash rather than HTML.
For Example:
http://www.darton.com/en/login.swf
(This is just a similar website that I have found in google and it is not the actual site)
Please advise if there is a way to interrogate the website using Openspan.

I don't know the answer to this question (My Pega Robotics knowledge is insufficient to answer).
But you might want to look at these third party links for a possible clue on how maybe you could achieve this (using Robotics to drive this even [maybe]?)

Hello Jeff, can OCR help us with Flash applications?
There is some enhanced version of OCR released by Pega recently, trying to understand if that can help. I am also kind of stuck flash application. Thanks

Starting in build 8.0.1087 there are new methods that use OCR to work with screens. The new methods are only supported with Windows adapters at this time. Also, they are not recommended for use with RDA (desktop automation with a user present), instead they are only for use with RPA implementations. So, you could interrogate your browser window and use these methods to interact with the browser itself.
The new methods are ClickByOCR, DoubleClickByOCR, GetValueByOCR, SetValueByOCR and HighlightByOCR.
