iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

How to handle a file download dialog from a Flash app

Post by Tom, Tech Support » Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:05 pm

iMacros currently does not automatically handle file download dialogs generated by Flash applications. However, the same technique described in Automating a tricky file upload dialog will also work with these download dialogs. Note that in this case the ONDOWNLOAD command is not needed.

If the file you are downloading already exists in the target download location, then you will also need to use a DS CMD=KEY command to dismiss the Confirm Save As dialog:

Code: Select all

WAIT SECONDS=1
DS CMD=KEY CONTENT=Y
