A:
Adobe (Macromedia) Flex applications is handled by Adobe. Adobe has released Flex Builder 3.0; this release includes the QuickTest Professional Flex add-in. The add-in was developed using QuickTest Professional's Test Extensibility Architecture functionality. The Flex add-in is developed and owned by Adobe.
Hewlett Packard does not support the Adobe Flex add-in, therefore I suggest contacting Adobe (http://www.adobe.com) to see about availability, support details, and pricing.
Adobe is providing the add-in via an automation package that is shipped with Flex Builder 3 Professional. Basic information on the automation package with QuickTest Professional integration is here:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/upgrade/
Users can download the automation package with QuickTest Professional integration here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flex
A specific Adobe license is required and needs to be requested from Adobe. No specific Flex license is required on the QuickTest Professional side.
Note: Support for the Flex add-in is being provided by Adobe. Customers/end-users need to contact the Adobe support organization for help with problems or questions related to the Flex add-in.
From the Flex Builder 3 release notes (for an updated version, contact Adobe):
Requirements for Using the QTP Plug-in
To test applications with Flex Automated Testing and the QTP agent, you must install the following:
HP QuickTest Professional 9.1 (no support for Smart Identification), available from HP
HP QuickTest Professional 9.2 and patch 1701 or later if you want Smart Identification support.
Adobe Flex 3 Plug-in for HP QuickTest Professional
Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6 or later
Flash Player ActiveX control, version 9.0.28.0 or higher
For any questions regarding support of Flex, and QuickTest Professional, please contact Adobe for the latest information:
