Is there a way, perhaps using UI scripting, to click and drag from
one point to another?
The dictionary for System Events 1.2 contains:
click: cause the target process to behave as if the UI
element were clicked
click reference -- the object for the command
[at list] -- when sent to a "process" object,
the { x, y } location at which to click, in global coordinates
As far as dragging, I'm not sure. Maybe the 'move' command would work?
Would a Click-Drag have to be directed to a particular app which
supports click/drag or can a generic click/drag be done which will
direct the click and release to whatever apps happen to be under the
cursor at click and release time?
If you use this code, you can direct the action to whatever is the
frontmost application:
tell application "System Events"
set theProcess to every process whose frontmost is true
tell process theProcess
-- whatever you want
end tell
end tell
