Flash Website VBO

[HemantKumar_Sin]

I am working on automating Flash Websites, Neither of the spy modes recognize the Flash entities on the webpages. My query is Does Blue Prism has inbuilt VBOs for Flash Based content or any external support is required ? What procedure needs to be followed in order to automate Websites with flash content? Please Suggest.

Unfortunately Flash requires surface automation - https://blueprism.knowledgeowl.com/help/how-do-i-spy-a-screen-that-is-based-on-adobe-flash-technology

Hi @John__Carter, do you know if surface automation is still the only option available for Flash websites?

Yes I'm afraid it is.

Since original question was posted ~1 year ago, I assume you've used BP 5.0.* to automate it? I've done some testing with flash based website recently, and my observation was that surface automation with BP 6.2 ran 2-3 times faster thank on 5.0.*   Combine this with some OCR and color recognition and it might be worth a try.
