WinWait Help

[random42]

I'm probably using winwait wrong so if so, please point me in the right direction.

Here is what I am trying to do and some sample code that reproduces the issue.

1) - Open an IE window

2) - Give it up to 60 seconds to complete loading

3) - Click a specific location (the login line) once it completes

The problem is that the text it is looking for is apparently not detected because it times out every time instead of simply continuing.

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MouseClick ( "left", 96, 982) ;click on the IE icon on taskbar

Start()

Func Start()

$current_window = "Lost Escapades RPG Game, Free RPG Game, Free Roleplaying Game (RPG) - Microsoft Internet Explorer"

$current_window_text = "Lost Escapades is a game set in a timeless land"

MouseClick("left",162,93) ;click address bar in IE

Send("http://lostesc.3esd.com/")

Send("{enter}")

WinWait($current_window, $current_window_text,60) ;wait for IE window to load with text

MouseClick("left",126,303)

EndFunc

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So three questions:

1) - What am I doing wrong here?

2) - How do I do it right?

3) - The help for winwait says the "text" part of the function is "The text of the window to check." - Since it isn't doing what I would expect is there any place I can get more info on how it works? (I tried to find it in the forums before posting but couldn't.)
