When a locator is constructed, the attribute type is automatically assigned based on the technology domain that your application
uses. The attribute type and value determines how the locator identifies objects within your tests.

Apache Flex (Flex) controls:
- automationName
- The name of the application.
- caption
- Similar to
automationName.
- automationClassName
- For example
FlexButton.
- className
- The fully qualified name of the implementation class, for example
mx.controls.Button.
- automationIndex
- The index of the control in the view of the
FlexAutomation, for example

- index

- id
- The identifier of the control.
- windowId

Note: Attribute names are case sensitive. Attribute values are by default case insensitive, but you can change the default setting
like any other option. The locator attributes support the wildcards
