Dealing with Flash objects

[robinsiebler]

Every day, I launch the 'Sirius Player' to listen to music, so I thought I would try automate this. In order to launch the player, you have to go to the main page (http://www.sirius.com) and click on the 'Listen' button, which is part of a Flash object. So far, the only way I have found is to move the mouse to the position 'Listen' should be and click there. That worked 3 times in a row, but on the 4th, for some reason, the mouse moved over 'Activate'. Is there a better way to do this?

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0) 
Dim $pos[2]
$ietitle = "Microsoft Web-MSWeb - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
$playertitle = "http://mpcache.sirius.com - Welcome to the SIRIUS Player - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
Run("c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE")
WinWaitActive($ietitle)
$handle = WinGetHandle($ietitle)
ControlClick($ietitle, "", "Edit2")
Send("http://www.sirius.com{ENTER}")
Sleep(10000) 
$pos[0] = 808
$pos[1] = 218
MouseClick("left", $pos[0], $pos[1])
WinWaitActive($playertitle)
WinWait("AutoFill - RoboForm")
ControlClick("AutoFill - RoboForm", "", "Button2")
WinActivate($playertitle)
$pos[0] = 260
$pos[1] = 438
MouseClick("left", $pos[0], $pos[1])
WinClose($handle)

ControlClick($handle, "", "Edit1")
Send("http://www.sirius.com{ENTER}")
Sleep(10000)
ControlClick($handle, "", "Edit1")
Send(" javascript:openMediaPlayer('MediaPlayer','','');{ENTER}")

no... actually i went to the " site map" and just hovered over the "listen" and saw the javascript on the bottom left of my screen... so

i right clicked on the "listen" ( while in the site map ) , then clicked properties and copied the link
