Is there a way to control mouse movement with actionscript.

Based upon an event I want to programmatically move the mouse to a specific location.

Thanks,

no. you can’t use AS to move the mouse pointer.

Thanks,

What about issuing a mouseup? Here’s the problem.  
In the game I’m making people click on an object and drag it.  
When their turn expires I want to force them to release the object.

Any suggestions?

you’d probably need to use the getTimer() function and then stopDrag()…
