...how do i make a script so that it can control the directional arrows for a flash game?



its a game where u want to hae to hit the arrow keys at specific times and i just want to be able to write a script for it



this actually serves two purposes...one to do good at that game and the other to test my games

    yeah, I believe applescript itself cannot tell certain keys to be pressed.



    There was a shareware that adds this functionality to applescript but I forget now.



    Try doing a search and tell me if you find anything.



    Sorry if this wasn't much of a help.

    If keycaps is scriptable, then there you go.

    not sure this would work because the browser window with the flash in has to be the frontmost window and active

    The keyword was if. I'm on vacation, and I can only use a windows machine at the moment.

    That's like saying going to jail for a few years is a vacation - it's more of a punishment!
