Hello, I am a complete beginner in scripting / programming (well, not 100%, but it has been about 7 or 8 years since i have done any kind of c++, java, and html programming... so lets say I'm a complete newb )

I am confused on how to even go about setting up a program to bot a simple mouseclick > move > mouseclick > move > repeat program for firefox.

What and where should I begin familiarizing myself, and also because of this inexperience I am totally unaware on how to actually USE the program, I ran the test scripts but it didnt make any sense to me on how to actually bot something.

I hope to receive some help!

Thanks,
Elsien

As I see it, there are two main parts with this.
1) Understanding of programs.
To some degree "processes", and basics about "windows" including window controls like buttons, etc.

2) Understanding of a of a script language and engine.
By engine meaning a lot of script languages in them self might not have faculties to do anything with external windows and processes.
MacroMonkey does, as well as AutoIt, ACTOOL, etc.


Depending on what you want to do, you might even get by with just a record and play back kind of macro program.
This is where you just record mouse clicks and key presses, etc., just a sequence that you repeat over and over.
But then this kind of setup is pretty "dumb". It doesn't have feed back or anything to know where it's at.
And because of this, these tend to run slower.

I can see how you can manipulate a Firefox window, and onwards more sophisticated if it was a browser game running on it or something.

Using MacroMonkey:
First you'd want to find your browser window using a facility here:

"win.Find()"
Then to read the status of something on the screen, you could use "win.GetPixel()" to read pixels off the screen.

Then to click on things you can use the "user input" library:

Like "input.MouseClick()"

To use MM you will need to learn at least some basic Lua scripting.
