Hi
I am finding if after the first mouse click event on a toolbar works all remaining ones dont. If i step through my script and execute the 2nd mouse click twice (using Execute Selection) then it works. I cant loop the mouse click as ActionA crashes and a delay between two mouse clicks doesnt work. Any ideas?

Windows/Linux/Mac?
Difficult to guess the root cause. How do you target the object in toolbar?
If you are in Ubuntu you could try xdotool run as command instead of Actiona key
just to troubleshoot.

Re: Mouse Click Issue
Soz, first post on here. It was windows 7. each action has the X/Y of the toolbar position to click.
Re: Mouse Click Issue
I think the issue is associated with which window has focus when running the ActionA developer and my application at same time. If i save my script to an EXE file and run it then I get the button clicks working. This is a pain as it takes time to develop a script. Any ideas? I have added a Window action and set the application to the foreground but it doesnt help.
Re: Mouse Click Issue
As I understand, you have Actiona GUI and your target application window both open at the same time and there is a conflict.
If you wish to keep your Actiona GUI open and at hand for development, one thought is to build an extra Actiona command in your script which finds Actiona window and minimises the Actiona window and then proceeds to target the application toolbar, unfettered by other windows.
I tend to use actexec to run the *.ascr script under development.

Re: Mouse Click Issue
Hi. Thanks. Minimizing ActionA is only part of the problem, the debug controls which are display top left when you run the script doesnt minimize and cant be moved (unless I am missing something).
Re: Mouse Click Issue
Several points here.
Where you have a stack of windows ... instead of relying on x,y coordinates you can select the target window/toolbar to bring into focus (to apply actions) by using a Window command. There you can use the title of the window, or its ID. If using title you can use * as wildcard.
You can remove the debug consoles by going to Tools > Settings > Actions. Untick execution window and console window.
In Ubuntu which I use i can also place Actiona in a separate virtual workspace and target windows in a different virtual workspace. I'm sure that Windows has a similar feature for creating virtual workspaces. But really this separation should not be necessary if you target the window title or ID.
