I am using Telerik WebUI Test Studio. I have recorded a series of action which involves clicking on a menu item which shows a flyout menu and then clicking on another link on this flyout menu. But the script fails when it comes to the "clicking of the link on the flyout menu". The reason for failure is that it never finds the flyout menu link on the page. Any idea ? do i have to reduce the speed of the test run ?
My problem can also be understood by taking this site for example. I want to click on the link " The telerik difference" which shows up when one clicks on the menu item "About telerik" at the top of www.telerik.com. In my case the tool never finds the link "The telerik difference" on the page and the script fails. Any help?

Hello Arsalan,
The dynamic menu test recording might be a bit tricky but the problem you explain is easy to resolve. You just need to add verifications the dynamic elements exist or are visible before you record the click action over those. The approach is demonstrated in the "Recording Best Practices" video you can find here and we highly recommend for review.
I have recorded a sample test over telerik.com for you. Please find it attached here. The important step is #3 where I added a WaitFor step for the visibility of the element before clicking it.
Please let us know if you have further questions.
