As the title says...

I had a recollection that it was possible to construct a tool in LiveCode that would use AppleScript, System Events, and the accessibility framework to perform actions on another (not naturally scriptable) app.

I can do menu items, I can do keystrokes - but can I move the mouse? Or more to the point, can I move the mouse to a location, then click and drag to a new location?

Automator appears to be able to do this as a recording, which works once as a single step - but ever since hangs on playback (amusingly, it moves the mouse to the first point and then refuses to let it be moved anywhere else - pulling it back if it is - the only escape seems to be to use the keyboard to open a terminal and kill Automator).

Did I dream this, or is it possible?

TIA,

Ben
