Using sikulix-api did the work for me.

After the standard selenium setup, take a screenshot of the element you want to click on and follow this code:

Screen screen = new Screen();
Pattern properties = new Pattern(<path-to-screenshot>);
screen.wait(properties, <timeout>);
screen.click();

More functionality can be found in the official documentation: http://doc.sikuli.org/

I used maven to import the library:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sikulix</groupId>
    <artifactId>sikulixapi</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

I have solved this by using Neoload. Then I could record my browsing flow (even though this is a webpage base on flash) web page browsing. https://www.neotys.com/blog/

I did not like the experience working with this tool but it solved my problem. To bad it is licence product. This might be a problem if you plan to use this in a CI/CD system with a low budget.

I've played with Flash Selenium before.

It also depends on your project but here are some links to get you started doing some research.
