Bob, your code would look something like:
Script ClickCoordinates()
; clicks coordinates to get phone working
SaveCursor()
JawsCursor()
RouteJawsToPc()
if (moveTo(x, y)) then ;move to was successful x & y are coordinates
LeftButtonDown()
else
say("cannot move to desired coordinates.", ot_message)
endif
RestoreCursor()
EndScript
I generally do not llike move to scripts as they can be broken by
things like whether the screen is maximized & the screen resolution
has changed, but sometimes it's the only way.
1 thing I would suggest, however, is to make certain all graphics are
being spoken (go to your jaws configuration manager by pressing insert
keyboard (not numpad) 6 while in your application. Press alt s, then
g, then tab to the radio buttons for the graphics usually about 5 tabs
in. It may say speak labeled graphics, down arrow to all & press
enter. Save your changes & see if perchance jaws announces a graphic
at the location. U may also need to go back into that dialog & change
the maximum & minimum graphic height & width to larger & smaller
values, respectively to give jaws instruction to look for something
other than the default as graphics.
If there is a graphic there, then the graphic can be labeled & a
script can be written to find & click on that graphic.
HTH.
