Captivate scrolling capture failture in software simulation mode

I'm making an interactive video using software simulation mode, and in the video I need to have a scroll button that users can drag from the left of the slider to the right, but Captivate didn't capture the action and there wasn't a scrolling item shown that I can drag. Can anyone help to solve the problem? Thanks a lot.

I suspect you are using the Software simulation, probably in Demo mode? Those 'moving' actions should be captured in a FMR slde. FMR is Full Motion Recording. That worked fine for SWF output. However I learned that it is not always working OK for HTML5 output. Since several versions I do use another workflow: I stop the recording when I expect such a slide to occur, and insert/record a Video Demo slide instead. After that slide I continue the normal sim recording. Bit cumbersome, but it gives a much better result.

Thanks. Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I am using the software simulation in training mode.

In that case it is not possible out of the box to make that interactive at all.

@Gaanf Do you know any rapid authoring simulation tool that is capable of it out of the box? I know that Captivate's simulation is in need of refurbishing, but it is still a lot more powerful than other screen recording tools when you talk interactivity.
