DirectScreen Technology
(Related example macros: Demo-FileUpload, Demo-Flash, Demo-JavaScriptMenu)
DirectScreen Technology is the ultimate solution if everything else fails! It simulates standard native mouse clicks within the browser window. It is activated during recording by clicking on the "Click Mode" button and selecting "Use DirectScreen Commands" from the dialog.
Typically DirectScreen Technology is used to automate web pages that contain non-HTML elements such as Java applets or Macromedia Flash elements.
Recording Flash or Java Applets
When recording a flash (or Java) applet like this calculator, iMacros can no longer work on the HTML code of the relevant page. To record a macro on a flash or Java applet, you must activate DirectScreen:
- Press the "Click Mode" button
- Select "Use Direct Screen Commands ..." from the settings pop-up
- Use the applet
You will find iMacros record the mouse and keyboard actions producing lots of DS and WAIT commands (depending on the complexity of the performed actions).
