Though Selenium (created by co-founder of Sauce Labs) is open source:
  http://seleniumhq.org/

As is the flex-pilot plugin for it:
  http://wiki.github.com/mde/flex-pilot/api

I love Selenium, but haven't got my head around how to use it for flash
testing; and, as Grace wrote below, manual QA testing of Flash and Flex
sucks.

So to bring this thread back on-topic, is anyone using the
open-source version of flex-pilot with it (or some other way to use
Selenium to test flash applications)? Any feedback on it, or pointers to
articles on using it, would be great.
