I'm trying to simulate a button click on a webpage (pandora.com) which uses flash as it's UI for internet radio.  I want to use applescript to click the stop/pause button.

I found a solution, but it's not pure Applescript.  I got an Objective-C snippet that does an actual mouse click using CGPostMouseEvent (not a UI click message, like "click at") from http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008051406323031.

After compiling it as a command line utility, I just call it via:

do shell script ("click -x " & my button_center_x & " -y " & my button_center_y)
