I am wondering if it is possible to use Actionscript, to firstly launch another application. And then click a certain pattern on the screen. To automate another application.

Hi.

Could you please provide more details?

Do you want an ActionScript application to control another ActionScript application? Or do you want to control an application created with another language?

And what kind of pattern and automation?

Thanks,

JC

Hi.

I think the easiest solution would be using fscommand() to call an external executable.

flash.system - Details Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3) API Reference

Native Process is also an option.

The control over the external application is up to you. It depends on how you code it.
