Okay you have no idea.

RTFM. In the helpfile. There is an example. Study it, work out how off track you are.

The help file doesn't get very detailed with explaining this function.....

#include <IE.au3> 
_IEAction ( ByRef $o_object, $s_action )

could someone fill me in on what "ByRef $o_object " is? I know its an Object variable of an InternetExplorer.Application. But what do I reference to get the click that i want?

Check the _IECreate example:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("www.autoitscript.com")

$oIE is the object of the IE . Then you can use something like:

$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "submitExample")
_IEAction ($oSubmit, "click")

Hang on, the example(s in this case) for the function aren't detailed?

; *******************************************************
; Example 1 - Open a browser with the "form" example, get a reference
;               to the submit button by name and "click" it. This technique
;               of submitting forms is useful because many forms rely on Javascript
;               code and "onclick" events on their submit button making _IEFormSubmit()
;               not perform as expected
; *******************************************************
;
#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Example ("form")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "submitExample")
_IEAction ($oSubmit, "click")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

; *******************************************************
; Example 2 - Same as Example 1, except instead of using click, give the element focus
;               and then use ControlSend to send Enter.  Use this technique when the
;               browser-side scripting associated with a click action prevents control
;               from being automatically returned to your code.
; *******************************************************
;
#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Example ("form")
$oSubmit = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "submitExample")
$hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")
_IEAction ($oSubmit, "focus")
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{Enter}")

; Wait for Alert window, then click on OK
WinWait("Windows Internet Explorer", "ExampleFormSubmitted")
ControlClick("Windows Internet Explorer", "ExampleFormSubmitted", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:OK; Instance:1;]")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

Wait how isn't it detailed? You know what the parameters are, there are the variables, but two and two together, search through the help file... >_<

Similar questions in details in parameter of "ControlClick": "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:OK; Instance:1;]"?
