Re: Clicking?



Thanks, close but not perfect.  Let me explain it better:

In applescript, if I want to write a stand alone script, how can I click a certain spot on the screen, assuming that I know the coordinates of the spot.

        Again, thanks in advanced!

work.  So now I will ask someone who knows!


I'm assuming you mean programmatically. If you want to click a button for which you have an AppleScript name defined in Interface Builder, it's easy:


--AppleScript name of button is "myButton"
tell button "myButton" of view 1 of scroll view 1 of window 1 to perform action
--result: myButton's on clicked handler is called


See the doc: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/ Reference/StudioReference/sr5_control_suite/chapter_5_section_30.html>
