Ahh, excellent. My macro works alot better now that I've implemented that. One follow up question.. I wrote another macro to assist me in adding friends to Facebook. I play a game that requires you have to friends for more stuff in the game (God that's annoying). There is a group where people post up if they want to be friended, so I go down the list middle-clicking each profile until Firefox has like 20 tabs open with each person's FB page. I then ctrl-tab to each tab, hit "Add Friend" then send. Problem with macro'ing it is the "add friend" button moves based on the length of the person's name since the button is after the name. So right now I have: Repeats 1130 to 0, step -2. As it "slides" from the far right to the left if it sees the color of the add friend button, it adds the friend but if it can't find it just closes that person's profile and goes to the next. Works fine, but not very fast. Any more efficient way to do that? PS.. the tolerance between the far right border of the btn and the "d" in add friend is like 5px, so I can't safely boost the skip by any more than 2.

Really? I didn't see any options in the scripting editor that sounded like it would work. If you mean using the IE section to wait for web page to load, that's not really do-able since the website is showing as loaded all the time, the changes I have to wait for are in some type of flash or script or something. The pixel color check is a built in function of ME? Where is that option? That would be fine for what I need; simply seeing a color change would tell me what I need.

Hi. One thing I think would be really, really useful would be if Macro Express could compare a portion of the screen to a saved image. If you were working in scripting editor for example, under the logic section it would be "If Screen Image" which would give you a dialog where you enter the path/filename of a bitmap then the upper left corner X and Y coord to start comparison. The system could then, at runtime, read the file to determine the file's width and height then use the start X/Y to get the current screen image and compare to the bitmap. You could also make something akin to the mouse move's mouse locator for use with that. You hit a button to launch the screen clipper then you move the mouse to the upper-left corner of where you want to cut, right click to start, then move the mouse to the lower right corner of the selection and right click again then the system would automatically save it as a bitmap and automatically enter the start X/Y coords and stuff. Reason being, when I want my macro to operate a website I have pages where if you click a link, the next page loads in half a second but sometimes it takes 13 seconds! I have to code my macro to wait the maximum possible length, and this highly screws my efficiency on days when the page is loading fast. If I had a logic I could do a loop until a screen portion I clip matches the image file then continue processing the macro. That'd be sweeeeeet, please please consider it Thanks!
