Error with re-recording on Adobe Captivate 4

[gareth_adams1]

Hi,

When i try to create a software simulation using automatic recording mode, get the error below:

Unable to locate the element in the application being recorded. Check if the action was performed outside the browser window.

A breakpoint has occurred at script index 2

Click 'Switch To Manual Mode' to continue performing manual actions. Press the designated key to resume automatic re-recording from the next item in the re-recording script.
To skip this action, click 'Continue from next element'.

I am trying to do a simple test using notepad file.

I can create the original project and script file ok.

The problem is when i browse to the saved script file i get the error above.

I am running XP tablet edition service pack 3.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi there

Are you attempting to use the "Re-Recording Script"?

If so, this probably won't work. I see you are referring to recording Notepad. I think the Re-Recording Script will only function if the window you are recording is Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Thanks for the reply Rick,

I understood that captivate could be used to re-record actions in software automatically.

I want to record a demonstration of a software application and then repeat in numerous languages using the re-record function.

There is no mention in the user manual that this function is exclusive to internet explorer, (however i do notice the message pop up saying only ie6 is supported).

Any advice would be welcome
