Selenium automates Web browsers.
From http://seleniumhq.org..
Selenium automates browsers. That's it.
Flash objects are impossible to automate using Selenium as flash objects are not technically 'browser driven' like javascript is. You'll have to find other software to automate Flash.

If you are using Ruby language for Selenium-Webdriver automation then you can use "Gem SIKULI" using which we can deal with all Flash elements. http://rubygems.org/gems/sikuli
But it is not that much reliable.
Gem sikuli needs Jruby i.e Java+Ruby

Not possible. All you can do is do some clicking based on the coordinates, but this is really unreliable.

It is not possible to automate flash objects with selenium as selenium is only for HTML so you can use 3rd party API Sikuli for this purpose sikuli provides image based automation in which you take image of an object and then use that image as reference to perform your operation .So in other words in sikuli object identification is done via image processing
please check following simple blog posts to learn about usage of sikuli Automating flash calculator with sikuli integration with selenium.

Add the flashdriver jar into your project and then use the FlashWebDriver method to operate the Flash file.
