Automate Flash-based User Interface and its various functions
Hello:
My goal is to automate, using client-side scripting only, an existing, Flash-based, web-hosted, user interface.
A few caveats to the project:
• The user interface is behind a network, so I cannot provide a working example, only examples of its functionality
• Any automating of the user interface must be executed client side
• I cannot make a request to the developer to upload anything server side to assist automating functions of the user interface
• Access to the user interface requires a user name and password
• I would prefer to use JavaScript or XML to carry out the automation
• I am open to the possibility of using existing, retail software, or free-lance work, if the price is reasonable.
- Anything above $100 would be too expensive
The attached mock-up (fbui-mockup.jpg) details the procedure and steps of one of the tasks to automate:
1. Under the "ITEM" column, "ITEM3" is selected
2. Once "ITEM3" is selected, the item’s available assets are listed
a. In this instance, it is a text-based asset
b. “ASSET 1”
3. Once the “ASSET” is selected, its corresponding properties to edit become available
a. In the mock-up example, we will be editing “Asset 1 Text Example 2”
4. To edit “Asset 1 Text Example 2,” it must be selected
5. Once selected, you must click the “CHANGE” button at the bottom, which sends you to another screen inside the column to edit the text associated with “Asset 1 Text Example 2”
a. Once there, the user has the ability to make the change in a text entry box
b. Once a change is made, the user must click the “CONFIRM MY CHANGE” button to have their change submitted
6. Once the “CONFIRM MY CHANGE” button is clicked, the user is sent back to the previous screen, where they must click the “SUBMIT MY CHANGE” button to actually have the change request sent
7. The other tasks to automate include uploading documents and removing and adding items to lists, all which use the same basic functionality of the text-based edit procedure: Edit, Confirm, and Submit.
Please let me know if you require any further information to offer advice or provide an absolute solution

I agree, EE isn't a place to post your project and expect to get it done for free.
@Cd can confirm I'm sure that there is a job board here somewhere where you might have some luck, otherwise there are sites such as freelancer.com
if you want an answer here then it's expected that you'd be working on it yourself and need guidance with certain aspects you are having trouble with.

Oh, I should have posted the job board link: http://careers.experts-exchange.com/ You might find someone to take it on there.
