Pop Up window not being captured in View , Try, and Test mode

Jan 13, 2014

Hi,

I was just playing around with the video recording of Storyline and I encountered this problem where in I was able to saved the video scene but not able to get a results in View, Try and Test mode scenes. The program I'm using is DrExplain. Everything else works except when i click the button that will give me a pop up window, it's not being captured by the 3 scenes mention.

Hi Jez and welcome to Heroes! 

I'm not familiar with the DrExplain program, but I did a simple recording of an Office program with pop up windows (for formatting, saving, etc.) and all appeared as expected within the screen recording try it mode. 

If this is a program that you operate from a web browser, you'll want to try it in a different browser than Google Chrome for the reasons explained here.

Hi Jez,

Thanks for sharing your .story file with me. I can see in the video mode, that the pop ups work successfully, and in try/test mode there is only one slide each so it seems that all the pop up information is not being communicated.

To help you narrow down if it's a DrExplain or Storyline issue, can you try recording another application that has pop up windows? For example, I used Office (Word) and was able to see the pop up windows there in my Try/Test mode. 

If when recording an application such as Word, you still don't see the pop ups, I'd begin by conducting a repair of Storyline.
