title: Writing tests in Appium for ActionScript-based iPad app
body: <p>I downloaded and set up <code>Appium</code> to run tests for an app developed in <code>ActionScript</code> for the <code>iPad</code>. I can run <code>Appium</code> just fine, however am having trouble actually writing tests. The problem is that I don't have any way to retrieve elements from the app. I thought I could do this with the selenium driver (I am currently creating an <code>IOSDriver</code> with <code>Appium</code>), however can't seem to figure out exactly how. All of the elements created by my application are <code>flash</code>-based (<a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/text/TextField.html" rel="nofollow">TextField</a> for example), so I'm not sure how to retrieve them with the normal findElement method(s).</p>
  
  <p>(Note I cannot update the code to comply with my tests, it must be the tests that comply with the pre-written code)</p>
