Introduction to firebug

Firebug

It is possible to use Firebug tool to execute Flex Pilot commands interactively. Being able to run commands this way proves that Flex Pilot bootstrapping has succeeded. Once the application has been opened in the browser, Flex Pilot commands can be executed in the Firebug console like this:

document.getElementById('appId').fp_click({'id': 'elemId'})

In the above example appId is the id of the Flex Application in the HTML source code and elemId is the id of the clicked element in the Flex source. All the available Flex Pilot commands and their arguments are listed in the Flex Pilot API.

If you just want to verify that bootstrapping works, you can run only the example below. Everything should be set up correctly if this command returns function, fp_click() or something similar. If you get undefined, you need to checkout your bootstrapping again.

document.getElementById('appId').fp_click
