Hi Fred, Great question. I like impossible questions. Strictly speaking, there is no way to do this with the mouse, but consider this substitute: Before running the script, have the user make an arbitrary frame whose X-Pos, Y-Pos represents this x,y value, then make sure this frame is selected when the script is run. The script can then identify this selected object, get its X-Pos, Y-Pos, and use those values. If desired, you could meanwhile delete that frame with the script if the frame itself is not needed. After that fire away with your dialogs. Greg
