Scraping flash websites

Question

I am willing to create a script that takes information from a website which is done in flash.

I was about to start coding an application doing something like:

• moving mouse to position x,y.
• do a mouse click.
• wait x msec.
• get data.

My question is: Is there a better way to do this? Any lib?

Thanks for reading!

Answer 1

there isn't a simple solution for flash web sites. selenium or watin or any other tools can't access to the flash unless you've got access the source codes of flash.

you can use one of these components with image recognation library, which can do possible to click on flash buttons.

Answer 2

Use Selenium.
