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.

Thank you.
This is an old thread, but do you know if it has been implemented?

If you're using an AIR application, then you can use NativeApplication - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference .
See an example here:

Would that example work on a mobile device. Or Desktop only?

Hello, would AS3 in full screen mode in one window be able to contol another AS3 app in another full screen window? It would be easy if Animate/Flash could span 2 desktops in full screen mode, but it seems it can't, so some how 2 apps have to communicate.
