> Recording Flash-Based Pages
Flash-based pages cannot be recorded normally in eValid because
such pages appear as if they were "graphical objects" to the
eValid browser. This prevents the use of standard object oriented
recording methods and, instead, requires a special approach using
Absolute Events. We've found this to be a very reliable method
for reproducing tests of Flash-based objects.
Start by enabling the "Absolute Left Clicks & Drags" option for
simple Flash-based pages to have right click mouse movements, and
turn on Mouseover Support for more complex Flash-based pages.
To enable the "Absolute Left Clicks & Drags" command directly
without accessing the preferences, press the "F11" key at any time
during recording. Pressing "F11" again will turn this feature
off.
To enable other absolute recording options of eValid follow these
simple steps:
(1) Navigate to the site to be tested.
(2) Start recording.
(3) Access the eValid preferences by clicking on "Settings >
Record/Play Advanced Preferences" or by pressing the shortcut,
"Ctrl + Alt + F2"
(4) Select "Absolute Events" from the preferences.
(5) Set the appropriate option desired.
(6) Click on the "OK" button to use these settings in your current
recording.
Note: During the recording process you should switch off as many
of the Absolute Events options as you can. Leaving them all on
tends to generate scripts that are too long and may have unwanted
commands. Extra commands may interfere with 100% reliable
playback. Some experimentation to get the right combination is
normal.
