Newbie here... wants to execute a pretty simple task.

[twisted2253]

Hello all,

To be honest I am not very good at scripting/programming and I was wondering if you guys could help me out with something.

Basically, I would like to set up a script for AutoIt that basically runs these commands:

Opens firefox

Directs itself to a specified URL

Mouse left-clicks at specified x,y coordinates

waits about 2 seconds

then another left-click at specified x,y, coordinates

and so on.

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the help!

I will try to configure this to what I am trying to do.

If I run into any further problems I will be sure to let you know.

Thanks again,

Sorry about the double post.

However, I was wondering if there was some application I could use to find out the coordinates on my screen.

The only application I know that might be able to do something like this is Photoshop.

Thank you,

There's a Au3Info.exe in autoit directory, it it what you're asking for

[twisted2253]

Thank you d4rk, that was exactly what I was looking for!

Ah! I cannot believe how well this is going!

Now I have another question,

Is there a command to scroll the mouse down the page?

Or perhaps there is a command to hold down the left-click button for a specified number of seconds?

Thank you,

MouseDown("left")
Sleep(4000); 4 seconds
MouseUp("left")

[d4rk]

MouseClick()

Send("PageDown"); look in the send keys (help file)

MouseClick()

Send("PageDown"); look in the send keys (help file)

Send("{PGDN}")

Thank you so much for all of these quick replies!

Hmm.. this seems a bit complicated but I was wondering if it's possible to execute a task that searches for a string of text and moves the mouse to that text.

I had just realized that the page I am doing all this stuff on changes periodically, so many of the coordinates will not work time to time.

EDIT: I have also just found the help file so I will try and reference that before I ask too many questions.

EDIT2: I may have found another way to complete the task, I might not need to know how to search for a string of text.

Reading windows i cant help with but whats other complete task?

Okay now I need to know one thing,

Is it possible to direct the mouse cursor to a specific color on the page instead of coordinates?

Thanks,
