Are you familiar with Flash? Screen-scraper can't run Flash, and therefore sometimes can't scrape such sites. Most of the time, however, there is some HTTP traffic between the Flash applet and the backend that you can use to scrape. Often they are JSON or XML responses.
You will need to be able to run the Flash embeded in your browser in order to see those transactions appear in your proxy. Visit flash.com to test whether or not you have Flash and to download it if you don't.
One tip: search your proxy transactions for something unique in the data in order to find the transaction you will need to make a scrapeable file out of.
One warning: some content sent over Flash is serialized AMF. We are currently working with a client on how to extract such content. We believe it can be done but do not yet have a proof of concept.
