• After configuration, I clicked on ok button .swf file created in the location and the below message I got in the console. Loading configuration file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex 4.0\frameworks\flex- config.xml C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex 4.0\bin\demo\bin\application.swf (37942 bytes)
• I opened the FLEX MONKEY click on file->new project
• Configured project directory as : file:///C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/Flex% 204.0/bin/demo/bin

• Enabled the adope Air
• I dragged the file automate_monkey4.x.swc in to the project libs file
• Since I dint find the flex compiler in my Eclipse and don’t know where to place below code generated in FLEX MONKEY

-include-libraries "../libs/automation_monkey4.x.swc"

"${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_spark.swc"

"${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation.swc"

"${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_agent.swc"

"${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_dmv.swc"

"${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_air.swc"

"${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_airspark.swc"

So can anyone please guide me in this like how to connect flex monkey and the eclipse, since

I dint founds the flex compiler in my eclipse. And FLEX MONKEY shows like the status is not connected.

I think you must use flash builder instead of eclipse, and the include command must be added to the compiler settings for the flex project launchin your application. also, run the app from flashbuilder, and then open the selenium->flexMonkey. this way it will show as connected. also, i experienced some problems with firefox 3.6, so upgrade to the latestversion (11)
