Hi,
I make find acc object to work by first find a piece of text that is close to the acc object that I'm looking for.
However, this latest project (a webpage) has no such text to find so I get the error "point no on screen" (or window) because the acc object is not visible on the screen without scrolling there.
Is there a work around for this?
Can I make find accessible object search a page --> if nothing found then --> page down, and search again....Repeat until finds acc object or reaches end of website.
Thanks.

Have you tried changing the acc search settings? check +invisible, in web page, in reverse order?
usually if i have it search invisible will find objects not in view

Thanks for replying, Kevin.
I tried it and it works for links (at least the one I tested - a news article), but it won't work for something like the "view 32 more" load more comments button near the bottom of the facebook comments.
Example at
http://www.buzzfeed.com/mackenziekruvan ... he-grammys
I'm guessing it's the javascript? I CAN identity it, but I still need to scroll there to make the object visible.
So far, I've tried reverse order, not using firefox node, using invisible, using useless, in web page, not in web page.
I thought the best option was regex but I couldn't get that to work.
I even tried searching by find image, but same problem.

or better still this works without scrolling
Function
Function2a
int w=wait(3 WV win("8 People Madonna Looked Like At The Grammys - Mozilla Firefox" "Mozilla*WindowClass" "" 0x4))
Acc a.FindFF(w "A" "" "role=button" 0x1084 3)
a.DoDefaultAction
or if you want it to scroll do like this
Function
Function2b
int w=wait(3 WV win("8 People Madonna Looked Like At The Grammys - Mozilla Firefox" "Mozilla*WindowClass" "" 0x4))
Acc a.FindFF(w "A" "" "role=button" 0x1084 3)
a.WebScrollTo
a.DoDefaultAction
along with changing search parameters , sometimes need to change acc attributes as well

Oh.
I thought it couldn't "find" it, but it could. It just couldn't CLICK it. Thanks for helping me.
That'll make a bunch of stuff much easier.
