Thom,
Thank you for this suggestion. First let me explain that I am
building an animated tutorial and otherwise agree with you on the
inadvisability of moving the mouse for the user. However my tutorial
I will require the "animation" of the mouse to occur over many
different paths across open stacks. How would I generate list of
points for many paths that would result in a smooth animation of the
mouse movement?
You can see why I also thought of moving a tiny stack whose
windowShape is a hand or pointer from the location of a point of one
stack to the location of a point in another stack. This I have done,
but I still wonder if there isn't an easier way??
Thanks and cheers, Roger
Ps. I'm sorry I dropped the Subject Heading last go-around.

You might want to have a list of the coordinates in a variable and
then
go through each line in a loop with:
on mouseUp
put "252,348" & cr & "267,323" & cr & "274,318" & cr & "285,275"
& cr
& "292,248" into myLocs -- for a sample
--or adjust this to your needs
--put globalLoc(the loc of group h) & cr after myLocs
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in myLocs
set the screenMouseLoc to (line x of myLocs)
wait 500 milliseconds
end repeat
end mouseUp
thereby making the mouse move to the points in the list. IMPORTANT
this
is not normal HIG behavior and users do not like it when the mouse is
moved for them. It does have it's good points and I use it in animated
tutorials.
I set points

Hi Eric,
Not quite what I want. I want to simulate (script) the MOVEMENT of
the mouse from one location to another across stacks. I don't
want to
just set the mouse location but rather move it uniformly from one
location to another. Am I still missing something obvious??
Cheers, Roger

What you need is: set the screenMouseLoc to tH,tV
Check the screenMouseLoc property in the docs :-)

Thanks, Xavier. I am aware of the ability to drag a tool from one
point to another, But drag mouse does not work! And of course,
this is what I really want . . . I want to drag the mouse from one
point to another across open stacks. Since I could not figure out
how to do this specifically, I then decided to move a tiny window
with a "hand" shape from a point within one stack to a point in
another stack. To do this, I have successfully worked out the
required geometry. But, I still wonder if there is a way to move
the mouse itself?? Am I missing something obvious??
Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
